The Binkley–Sellars Correspondence, 1956–1959
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This correspondence with Robert Binkley primarily concerns the 1956 (Methodos) version of “Intention, Imperatives, and the Logic of ‘Ought’” (IIO). Sellars and Binkley are chiefly concerned with two issues here. The first is with universalizability: For example, how does it follow from the fact that the good of society requires that people generally do A, that I should do A? Sellars argues that moral claims issue “inference tickets” of the form, “P is a person in C” implies “Shall [P doing A]” The second main issue Sellars and Binkley discuss is reasoning among intentions. Sellars and Binkley both introduce versions of the “Shall”-operator (a device Sellars did not employ in IIO), and suggest rules governing this operator.
