Ernst Cassirer's influence on the philosophy of Wilfrid Sellar
P. 149-170
- The aim of the paper is to highlight a hidden reception of Ernst Cassirer's works in the writings of Wilfrid Sellars. To set out such reception, I will begin with defining criteria that allow us to point out a possible influence from one thinker on another. In a second step, I will present several links between the set-out criteria and the constellation Sellars-Cassirer. Finally, the Cassirer Lectures Series at Yale, Sellars' review of Language and Myth as well as Sellars' lecture Philosophy and the Scientific Image of Man will serve as at the basis for an analysis of historical and systematic connections between Cassirer and Sellars. The conclusion will show that we actually can speak of a hidden influence from Cassirer on Sellars' thought and that philosophical desiderata remain in this context which are worth to explore even today.
