Prima facie, though, there is more to being a person than just being subject to ought-to-do rules. Arguably, that is what Kant takes a person to be.

What I hope to show here is that it is what Sellars takes a person to be too. By what right does one apply the pure a priori concepts of the understanding? As the necessary means for representing the analytic unity of apperception, i.

Moreover, the dominance of performative and essentialist discourses in contemporary artistic Moreover, the dominance of performative and essentialist discourses in contemporary artistic investigations of identity are problematically binary and limited to a Western context. I therefore engage with texts and artworks that examine identity from beyond this scope. Using an embodied understanding of transcendence that relates to the active relationship between an individual and all that exists, I will demonstrate that my performance of identity is an innately transcendental state of becoming that cannot and should not be formulated methodically.
