In Mind and World John McDowell sounds like he is channeling Heidegger when he speaks of “our unproblematic openness to the world”1 and how “we find ourselves always already engaged with the world.”2 His view is also seemingly similar to Merleau-Ponty’s when he notes that: “[a]n experiencing and acting subject is ... herself embodied ... ”3 Moreover, like these existential phenomenologists, McDowell makes the bold claim that “this is a framework for reflection that really stands a chance of making traditional philosophy obsolete.”4
