40It should be noted that McDowell develops his reading of Kant from an interpretation of Sellars’ reading of Kant. For McDowell’s most recent attempt to articulate the difference between his and Sellars’ reading, cf. McDowell, J. 2009. Sensory Consciousness in Kant and Sellars. In Having the World in View: Essays on Kant, Hegel, and Sellars, 108–126. Cambridge: Harvard University Press.

Contrast McDowell’s emphasis on the passage from ‘Von dem Leitfaden…’ with the interpretation of, for example, Allison. He writes: ‘Kant defines an intuition as “singular representation” […] and he contends that it refers “immediately to its object” (bezieht sich unmittelbar auf den Gegenstand) (A320/B377) […] it is precisely in virtue of its “immediacy”, that is, its direct, nonconceptual mode of representing, that an intuition can present a singular object to the mind and, therefore, serve as a [singular representation]’ (Allison, H. 1983. Kant’s transcendental idealism. An interpretation and defence, 67. New Haven: Yale University Press).
