More from Sellars, Wilfrid
"The myth of the given is the idea that there is a structure of consciousness that requires no justification or explanation. This is precisely what I deny."
"Language is the measure of thought. To improve one's language is to improve one's capacity for rational reflection."
"The conceptual framework we use to describe the world shapes what we can know about it."
"Empiricism without rationalism is blind; rationalism without empiricism is empty."
