Subseries 4. Manuscripts and Offprints, 1933-1973
|
Scope and Content Notes: This subseries contains published and unpublished manuscripts, as well as offprints penned by Roy Wood Sellars. This material largely dates from the later part of his life. The manuscripts are arranged alphabetically by title. While the bulk of these files simply consist of manuscript drafts, several also include enclosures. Some files contain related articles ("Discussion on Frankena"), limited correspondence, and reviews or notes (
Lending a Hand to Hylas, and
Reflections of American Philosophy from Within). Researchers may take particular interest in the
Framework of Philosophy and Its Burden files, as they include an unpublished book by RWS that includes previously unpublished and revised articles on topics ranging from theories of value and relativity, perception, choice, emergence, religion, pragmatism, dialectical materialism, and social patterns. The full-length manuscripts are augmented by manuscript fragments that are arranged alphabetically by topic. In addition to the manuscripts, this section also contains offprints dating from 1938 to 1965. These offprints contain succinct dedications to his son, Wilfrid Sellars and are filed chronologically.

This subseries includes manuscripts that were written by other philosophers and sent to Roy Wood Sellars for various reasons. The manuscripts are arranged alphabetically by author and known dates are supplied. A few of these manuscripts were given as compliments to RWS, since the authors discuss his work. Additional manuscripts were submitted to RWS for comment. Other authors sent RWS their manuscripts simply because they felt the subject matter might have interested RWS. |
