Zusatztext "Sachs has written a perceptive and well-argued book about a set of very challenging authors. If one wishes to understand the deepest issues that thread current neo-pragmatist thought! one could do no better than to pick up Sachs' book."- Steven Levine! The Philosophical Quarterly"Sachs's Intentionality and the Myths of the Given is a worthwhile text. It provides careful and precise elucidations of Sellars's Myth. It deepens the historical context and understanding of important debates in contemporary philosophy! especially analytic philosophy - for which Sachs's contribution might be invaluable. And it joins a growing chorus of works that bring phenomenological philosophers into prominent dialogue with more widely read philosophers." - Eric Chelstrom in Phenomenological Reviews Informationen zum Autor Carl B.
