Wilfrid Sellars

    20. Mai 1912 – 2. Juli 1989

    Wilfrid Sellars war ein amerikanischer Philosoph, der für seine Kritik an der fundamentalistischen Erkenntnistheorie bekannt ist. Sein zentrales Anliegen war es, intuitive Weltanschauungen mit einer umfassend wissenschaftlichen, naturalistischen Darstellung der Realität in Einklang zu bringen. Sellars synthetisierte meisterhaft Elemente des amerikanischen Pragmatismus, der britischen und amerikanischen analytischen Philosophie sowie des logischen Positivismus mit der deutschen Tradition des transzendentalen Idealismus. Sein Werk wird für seine anspruchsvolle Argumentation und sein Streben nach einer synoptischen Vision geschätzt.
