Wilfred Sellars

Wilfred Sellars was a 20th-century philosopher who explored how our perceptions and language shape our understanding of reality. He emphasized that our concepts and scientific views are intertwined, meaning our ideas about the world are influenced by how we think and talk about it. Sellars argued that meaningful knowledge comes from a combination of scientific understanding and everyday human experience, challenging the idea that science and philosophy are separate. His work helps us see how language and perception influence our view of truth, reality, and knowledge.
