ABSTRACT
Sellars exploits a distinction between I-intentions and we-intentions in his ethical theory. While one might think that this is merely a distinction between the singular and the plural, I will argue that the distinction between these two types of intention goes much deeper than mere logical form. Rather, these two types of intention involve two different types of reasoning —individual reasoning and cooperative reasoning-and the latter cannot be reduced to the former. Elaborating these two types of intention in terms of these two types of reasoning provides us with an excellent tool for further developing a truly Sellarsian ethics. Next, after briefly elaborating the notion of the logic of intentions in terms of material inference, I will conclude with some comments on the categorical force of moral imperatives.
