Sellars on the Intersubjectivity of “We-Intentions”
Original language description
The notion of intersubjective “we-intentions” is central to Sellars's philosophical system, especially to his account of morality. However, what precisely makes these intentions intersubjective and why we need them often remains unclear in Sellars's texts. This chapter attempts to bring more clarity to these issues. I argue that we can characterize the moral domain from a Sellarsian perspective as a domain of consonant practical reasoning with intentions. I show that “I-intentions” cannot serve in such consonant practical reasoning because of two constraining features: their indexicality and their merely relative reasonableness. I then reconstruct how Sellars can address these two problems. I also suggest that there is a change in Sellars's ideas about the intersubjective aspects of we-intentions at the end of his career, where he seems to abandon his former “mode account.” Based on this reconstruction of Sellars's motivations for introducing intersubjective intentions, I argue that this change is a sensible one.
