Knowledge, Mind, and the Given : Reading Wilfrid Sellars's "Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind," Including the Complete Text of Sellars's Essay

"Sellars' s argument in EPM is enormously rich, subtle, and compelling. It is also, for the uninitiated, extraordinarily dense. Willem deVries and Timm Triplett’s comprehensive commentary Knowledge, Mind, and the Given provides a much needed guide. Beginning with a general overview to introduce some main themes and difficulties, deVries and Triplett take the reader step by step through the sixteen parts of the essay, providing at each stage necessary background, illuminating connections, and insightful clarifications of the main lines of argument. . . . deVries and Triplett have written a fine introduction to Sellars’s most important work." --Danielle Macbeth, The Philosophical Review

Morality's Critics and Defenders: A Philosophical Dialogue

In this engaging and accessible dialogue, four students offer contrasting arguments on the nature and scope of morality. While specific social policy issues, such as animal rights and racism, come into play, the discussions focus on more general--and fundamental--questions, including: 
<ul>
<li>Does morality limit personal freedom?</li>
<li>Is morality relative to culture, or is it universal?</li>
<li>What is the motivation to be moral?</li>
<li>Is religion in tension with secular moral principles?</li>
<li>Does science undermine morality?</li>
<li>Can a common morality emerge out of the diversity of human interests? </li>
</ul>
 A glossary of important terms and suggestions for further reading are included.
