"The Necessity of the Normative: The Resilience of the Manifest
Image in Sellars's Scientific Realism"
5.00 PM, Monday, 13. June, 14. Zrinyi str. / room 412
Abstract:
Although Sellars wrote of a "synoptic vision" in which the manifest image and
the scientific image are reconciled, many have taken his scientific realism to entail the
eventual dominance of the scientific image. I argue that this is incorrect, indeed, that
the practical reality of human life is essentially tied to the ineliminable normativity of
the manifest image.
