Reviews

Koons's work sets a new standard for work on Sellars by showing how to be deeply engaged with the details of his work, willing to correct him when necessary, and also addressing live current issues in contemporary philosophy. - Carl B. Sachs in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

With his feisty, comprehensive, in-depth treatment of Sellars' ethics, Koons has now single-handedly re-introduced Sellars' ethics as something Sellars scholars can no longer ignore. Koons' book is to be celebrated as an important contribution to Sellars scholarship, and as a spirited, courageous effort to demonstrate the continuing importance of Sellars' ethics in the contemporary philosophical landscape. I hope that this book will be widely read and discussed, and that it may kindle wide-spread serious engagement with Sellars' practical philosophy, not only among Sellars scholars but also among scholars working in contemporary ethics and on theories of practical reasoning, agency, and collective intentionality. - Ronald Loeffler in the International Journal of Philosophical Studies Koons's work sets a new standard for work on Sellars by showing how to be deeply engaged with the details of his work, willing to correct him when necessary, and also addressing live current issues in contemporary philosophy. - Carl B. Sachs in Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
