Where Sellars believed stereoscopic integration of the two images
|
|
|
|
|
|
could be achieved by wedding the mechanistic discourse of causation to
|
|
|
|
|
|
the rational language of intention, Churchland proposes to supplant the
|
|
|
|
|
|
latter altogether via a neurocomputational enhancement of the scientific
|
|
|
|
|
|
image which would effectively allow it to annex the manifest image,
|
|
|
|
|
|
thereby forcing us to revise our understanding of ourselves as autonomous
|
|
|
|
|
|
rational agents or ‘persons’. However, as we shall see below, Churchland’s
|
|
|
|
|
|
attempt to annex the manifest image to the scientific image is vitiated
|
|
|
|
|
|
by a fundamental epistemological tension. Like Sellars, Churchland
|
|
|
|
|
|
emphatically rejects the instrumentalist conception of science con-
|
|
|
|
|
|
comitant with the ontological prioritization of the manifest image: he
|
|
|
|
|
|
claims to be a scientific realist. But as we shall see, his realism about sci-
|
|
|
|
|
|
ence is mined at every turn by his pragmatist construal of representation.
