Sellars believed that events could be reduced to descriptions of changes in substances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Commonsense Framework:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The author argues that the commonsense framework <strong>does<\/strong> recognize processes or events as distinct from substances. We commonly talk about events like &#8220;a flash of lightning&#8221; or &#8220;a thunderclap&#8221; which seem to exist independently of any particular substance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This difference in how substances and events are treated is the main reason why the author argues against equating the Manifest Image with the commonsense framework.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Problem of Absolute Processes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Sellars does acknowledge &#8220;quasi-physical objects&#8221; like flashes of lightning, but struggles to categorize them within his substance-based Manifest Image.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The author contends that these &#8220;absolute processes&#8221; cannot be reduced to things and therefore don&#8217;t fit within the Manifest Image.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This leads to an inconsistency in Sellars&#8217; philosophy, as he also claims that the Scientific Image, which relies on the concept of absolute processes, is built upon models from the Manifest Image.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Proposed Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The author proposes that the Scientific Image actually draws models from both the Manifest Image and the commonsense framework, which includes absolute processes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This means recognizing a &#8220;mixed ontology&#8221; with both substances and processes, a possibility that Sellars himself acknowledged but didn&#8217;t fully explore.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The paper highlights a subtle but important distinction between Sellars&#8217; philosophical construct of the Manifest Image and the broader notion of a commonsense framework.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It challenges the idea that events can be reduced to substances, arguing for the existence of irreducible &#8220;absolute processes&#8221; in our everyday understanding of the world.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This has implications for how we understand the relationship between the Manifest Image and the Scientific Image in Sellars&#8217; philosophy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The addendum further addresses a counterargument from Johanna Seibt, who claims that absolute processes are indeed part of the Manifest Image. The author provides three arguments against Seibt&#8217;s position, emphasizing the inconsistencies and omissions in Sellars&#8217; own writings regarding the status of absolute processes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This paper argues that Wilfrid Sellars&#8217; concept of the &#8220;Manifest Image&#8221; is not identical to the &#8220;commonsense framework,&#8221; contrary to what many commentators believe. 1 &nbsp; 1.
