Hegel. The work analyzes whether perceptual “givenness” supports the Myth of the Given, how sensory consciousness is constrained or informed by conceptual capacities, and how external constraint and “sheer receptivity” should be understood. It also develops interpretations of Hegel’s Phenomenology, including themes such as the Master/Slave dialectic and the role of apperception in agency, concluding with Sellarsian topics including rationality, empiricism of mind, and avoiding given-structured myths.",{"@graph":14,"@context":72},[15,34,55],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/literature/","Literature",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/having-the-world-in-view-essays-on-kant-hegel-and-sellars/661611/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/having-the-world-in-view-essays-on-kant-hegel-and-sellars/661611.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Quinn

Woodbridge Lectures at Columbia University in 1997.  \nThose essays appear here under what I used as the subtitle of those lec-tures.Their topic is Wilfrid Sellars's deeply Kantian account of perceptualexperience.In the experience of rational subjects,things are given to themto be known,in knowledge of a kind only rational subjects can have,knowledge that is a standing in the space of reasons.Is this givenness a caseof what Sellars rejects as the Myth of the Given?No,but that is only be-cause the experience of rational subjects,experience in which things aregiven for rational knowledge,itself draws on capacities that belong to therational intellect,the understanding.  \nEven as enjoyed by rational subjects,perceptual experience involves sen-sibility.And sensibility is not peculiar to rational subjects.As Sellars inter-prets what a Kantian account would require,sensibility constrains the in-volvement of the understanding in experience from outside.I contrast thatwith a conception according to which the role of sensibility in a Kantian ac-count is that it is sensory consciousness that is informed by conceptual ca-pacities in the experience of rational subjects.When I wrote the essays inPart I,I thought Sellars's picture included this informing of sensory con-sciousness by capacities that belong to the understanding,and that he addedexternal constraint,by what he calls\"sheer receptivity\",as a distinct furtherrole for sensibility.I retract that reading of Sellars in Essay 6.(Readersshould be alert to what this is an instance of:I would not now affirm every-thing on every page of this collection.)  \nSellars holds that it is not as possessors of significance that words bear re-lations to elements in extra-linguistic reality.In Essay 3 I discuss how thisdoctrine,which I think we should reject,conspires with other features of  \nSellars's thinking to make the contrasting conception of the role of sensi-bility invisible to him.  \nIf,as I recommend,we deny that the rational intellect needs a certain sortof external constraint,even in its empirical operations,we are soundingwhat can be easily heard as a Hegelian note.In Essays 2 and 3 I make someremarks about the Hegelian character of the denial,and that is the centraltopic of the first two
