Seeing Others as Objects: Perceptual Objectification & Affordances
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract In discussions of objectification, the use of visual language is ubiquitous. It is striking that the literature often talks about treating and seeing someone as an object in the same breath. Yet accounts of objectification focus on objectifying treatment and leave the notion of objectifying perception unexplained.

McDowell and Sellars on Objective Purport
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract John McDowell has criticized Wilfrid Sellars on several occasions and over a number of years for his ‘non‐relational’ account of intentionality. This account is, according to McDowell, at least partly responsible for a ‘blind spot’ in Sellars's thinking: Sellars, allegedly, fails to see how objects or states of affairs in the external world ...

Kant, Constitutivism, and the Shmagency Objection
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Many interpreters have recently defended constitutivist interpretations of Kant's moral theory, but they have largely overlooked the most prominent challenge to constitutivism: the shmagency objection.

How and when should this be done? I propose and defend a norm of rationality linking wondering, belief, and abilities to conceive: one must not both wonder a question and reject all answers to it that one can ...

Kant's Dialectic of Enlightenment
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Kant's moral thought emphasizes both our ability to make adequate, immediate moral judgment, as well as our deep‐seated forms of self‐entrapment. Strikingly, these forms of self‐entrapment are not simply the result of reason being overpowered by forces external to it, but arise out of reason itself, as pathological versions of otherwise ...
