<研究論文(原著論文)>Picturing and Meta-Linguistic Expressivism

Abstract

In this article, I will excavate the rich philosophical resource that Wilfrid Sellars left us and explicate in which sense it still merits our attention. Firstly, I will focus on Ruth Millikan’s interpretation of Sellars’s idea of picturing and give it a detailed examination. Secondly, I will argue that Millikan’s reading of Sellars diverges from Sellars’s original position at one crucial point, which led her argument to show its soft underbelly. Thirdly, I will make explicit in which sense the original version of Sellars merits our close attention, under the rubric of “picturing” and “global expressivism”.
