Some of the changes and additions to this page are essentially meaningless. The continental philosophy stuff that has been added to this page should be removed and replaced with observations by Rorty and Brandom: People who have really studied Sellars. I may not be a Sellars expert, but I know enough to know bullshit when I see it... - Palthrow 03:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

What do you object to specifically? Are these the Kantian and Hegelian elements and influences? These are well attested and detailed in Sellars work, in his intellectual autobiography published in CastaƱeda, H-N., ed. Action, Knowledge, and Reality; and in the two recent monographs devoted to his work by deVries and by O'Shea. 70.81.0.61 (talk) 03:23, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Palthrow's comment refers to a earlier version of the article, which had some tendentious passages. They have since been removed. 271828182 (talk) 04:02, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Wilfrid Sellars Bio Cover.jpg

Image:Wilfrid Sellars Bio Cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
