"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.
