Sellars' dot-quotes are expressed by bold periods. Logical connectors and quantifiers are all expressed by bold characters as follows:

--> = material implication

<--> = material equivalence

& = conjunction

~ = negation

v = disjunction

(x) = universal quantifier

(Ex) = particular ('existential') quantifier

-->	=	material implication
<-->	=	material equivalence
&	=	conjunction
~	=	negation
v	=	disjunction
(x)	=	universal quantifier
(Ex)	=	particular ('existential') quantifier
