Un'analisi della teoria della percezione di Wilfrid Sellars, in particolare per quanto riguarda il rapporto tra sensazioni e oggetti manifesti. Lo scopo del testo sarà quello di comprendere meglio la posizione di Wilfrid Sellars in merito andando a confrontare la sua posizione con quella del padre, Roy Wood Sellars, e il concetto, da questi proposto, di correlazione differenziale. Successivamente, si procederà ad ampliare l'analisi, prendendo in considerazione altri ambiti del pensiero di entrambi, e in parte anche altri filosofi, per cercare di comprendere ciò che entrambi questi pensatori hanno scritto in merito a queste questioni e a quelle di filosofia della percezione.
