Yet from the viewpoint of the sciences, rules cannot be easily accounted for. Sellars himself, during his later years, managed to put a lot of flesh on the normative bones from which he assembled the remarkable skeleton of the early paper; and his followers too. However, what they say is somewhat divergent; and therefore the author's aim in this paper is to concentrate on the very concept of rule and analyse it in the context of the question what it is about us humans that makes us special.
