- Summary:
- Maher (philosophy, Dickinson College) introduces the views of the Pittsburgh School on issues about thought and action, as represented by its core thinkers Wilfrid Sellars, Robert Brandom, and John McDowell. Though they disagree about much, he says, they all reject the idea that thinking about things can be assimilated to being merely affected by things, and the idea that acting intentionally can be assimilated to an ability to affect things. He covers the given, belief, following rules, meaning, knowledge without the given, and intentional action. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
