McDowell and Sellars on Intentionality and Meaning
Abstract:
One of the main differences between John McDowell and Wilfrid Sellars when
it comes to their conception of intentionality has to do with their
respective accounts of meaning. McDowell advocates a relational account of
meaning, whereas Sellars holds on the contrary that a correct view of
intentionality is only possible through a non-relational account of meaning.
According to McDowell, Sellars does not consider the possibility of his own
relational view because he suffers from a ‘blind spot’. It is implied that
if Sellars saw this possibility, he would see the light and embrace
something like McDowell's own account. I would like to argue in this
presentation that the whole issue goes much deeper than that and reveals a
fundamental tension between them with regards to objectivity. Sellars does
not suffer from a ‘blind spot’ and showing why this is the case should give
us an idea of how far apart these two thinkers really are, appearances
notwithstanding.
