Resumo

O presente artigo identifica, na obra de Wilfrid Sellars, duas teses relevantes para o debate contemporâneo em ontologia social. A primeira diz que podemos entender a realidade social como um conjunto de estruturas causais ou coercitivas. A segunda, que a realidade social aparece aos agentes como constituída por estruturas coercitivas. O artigo defende essas teses interpretativas recorrendo aos escritos de Sellars sobre filosofia prática e, especialmente, à sua explicação da operação de imperativos hipotéticos e categóricos. Ademais, o artigo contrasta essa interpretação causal com as concepções predominantes - de natureza normativa - tanto na ontologia social contemporânea quanto entre os seguidores de Sellars.
