The Metaphysics of Epistemology: Lectures by Wilfrid Sellars
Edited by Pedro V. Amaral
Wilfrid Sellars gave these lectures on the metaphysics of epistemology during the fall of 1975... . Considerable effort has been taken to preserve the pictures drawn during discussion. Without them, the lectures would be qualitatively different. As Sellars once remarked, “The traditional way of looking at things was in terms of a picture and I mean ‘picture’ literally because, as Wittgenstein correctly emphasizes, philosophers of different persuasions are hypnotized by different pictures. Literally pictures, little diagrams that they draw in the margins of their manuscripts which may not even get into the heart of the text. But, you can read a philosopher’s work, and pretty soon you can illustrate it. I have always been very candid: you can illustrate what I say because I provide the illustrations.”
