Sellars and Quine: Compare and Contrast

View through CrossRef
Abstract W. V. O. Quine and Wilfrid Sellars are arguably the most important and influential American philosophers of the second half of the twentieth century. The publication of Quine’s “Two Dogmas of Empiricism” in 1951 and Sellars’ “Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind” in 1956 were watershed events that significantly shaped the subsequent course of philosophical inquiry. In certain respects, these two seminal essays have much in common.
