| From Empiricism to Expressivism The American philosopher Wilfrid Sellars ranks as one of the leading twentieth-century critics of empiricism--a philosophical approach to knowledge that seeks to ground it in human sense experience. Sellars stood in the forefront of a recoil within analytic philosophy from the foundationalist assumptions of contemporary empiricists. From Empiricism to Expressivism is a far-reaching reinterpretation of Sellars from one of the philosopher's most brilliant intellectual heirs. Brandom Robert B. : Robert B.
