Rorty I 203
"Psychological nominalism": Sellars: thesis: any consciousness of varieties, similarities, facts and abstract entities, is a linguistic matter. The acquisition of language does not even presuppose the awareness of the varieties, similarities and facts, related to the so-called immediate experience.
>Language acquisition, >Similarity, >Distinctions, >Dissimilarities, >Objects, >Seeing, >Seeing-as, >Knowledge, >World/thinking.
Consciousness/Sellars (as Rorty) distinguishes between two types of consciousness:
a) distinguishing behavior,
b) consciousness as a movement in the logical space of reasons.
Distinguishing behavior a) can also be found in rats, amoebas and computers.
>Computer model/Sellars, >Logical Space of reasons.
