John McDowell: What is the Phenomenology about?

[@webmadman]

In regard to the question about the failure of the first object actually being a success, I wonder if it might be more clearly framed as the first object succeeding in recognizing it's limitation and conceding to the next. The differentiation strikes me as significant because when the first object fails to recognize it's limitation, the effort to maintain itself runs the risk of getting locked into an unresolvable polemic.

Sounds theologically significant. When the sinner fails to recognize their own inability to please God by their works, they run the risk of falsely thinking that their own autonomous morality can save them; rather than looking outside themselves at the cross.
