It is reflecting projection. All true statements are true in the same sense (like Frege). They differ in that they construct in different ways a projection of the world in the subjects. >World/thinking, >Reality, >World, >Truth, >Statements, >Correspondence relation. Projection/Sellars: but the projection belongs more to the realm of thought acts than to the statements. >Thinking/Sellars, >Language and thought. --- II 334 Summary 1) The correspondence that we were looking for is limited to elementary statements. 2) It is about the fundamental role that actual statements (or thought acts) play. Like the pawns in chess: e.g. "Chicago is big." 3) All true statements are "true" in the same sense, but they differ in their roles:  2 + 2 = 4 plays a different role than "this is red". The role consists in constituting a projection in the language users of the world they live in. >Language use, >Language game, >Language community, >Meaning, >Truth value, >Fregean meaning. Sellars: pro redundancy theory: if the picture corresponds, you are convinced that "this is green" is true, so you are convinced: this is green. >Redundancy theory.}, note = { Sellars I Wilfrid Sellars The Myth of the Given: Three Lectures on the Philosophy of Mind, University of London 1956 in: H.
