ABSTRACT

Sellars’s views in epistemology clearly evolved in the course of these

twenty-plus years, but whether the changes are simply refinements of

his early doctrines or major revisions, even disavowal of some of those

Sellars’s epistemology is complicated by the fact that he never

wrote a purely epistemological essay. Especially in the major texts just

mentioned, metaphysical issues, particularly those in the philosophy

of mind, are inextricably interwoven with matters epistemological.
