| Research Abstract |
In this research I took up and analyzed the philosophy of a 20^<th> century American philosopher, Wilfrid Sellars. The main focus of the research was on the theories of perception, sensory impression, and intentional action developed by Sellars, and it revealed the way in which Sellars came to the conclusion that the episodes or states placed in the space of reasons are sui generis, hence irreducible to temporal-spatial-causal explanation of natural science in 'the realm of law.
