This book argues that Sellars' theory of intentionality can be
understood as an advancement of a transcendental philosophical
approach. It shows how Sellars develops his theory of
intentionality through his engagement with the theoretical
philosophy of Immanuel Kant. The book delivers a provocative
reinterpretation of one of the most problematic and controversial
concepts of Sellars' philosophy: the picturing-relation. Sellars'
theory of intentionality addresses the question of how to reconcile
two aspects that seem opposed: the non-relational theory of
intellectual and linguistic content and a causal-transcendental
theory of representation inspired by the philosophy of the early
Wittgenstein. The author explains how both parts cohere in a
transcendental account of finite knowledge. He claims that this can
only be achieved by reading Sellars as committed to a
transcendental methodology inspired by Kant. In a final step, he
brings his interpretation to bear on the contemporary
metaphilosophical debate on pragmatism and expressivism.
Intentionality in Sellars will be of interest to scholars of
Sellars and Kant, as well as researchers working in philosophy of
mind, epistemology, and the history of nineteenth- and
twentieth-century philosophy.
