Sellars's death in 1989 was the result of long-term alcohol use.[20] A collection of essays devoted to 'Sellars and his Legacy' was published by Oxford University Press in 2016 (James O'Shea, ed., Wilfrid Sellars and his Legacy), with contributions from Brandom, deVries, Kraut, Kukla, Lance, McDowell, Millikan, O'Shea, Rosenthal, Seibt, and Williams. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3916.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3916.txt
