In this course

Sellars appears only as a passing reference in these excerpts, cited via footnote in what seems to be a broader discussion of post-Kantian philosophy and the critique of the "given." The excerpts focus on Kant's transcendental turn and poststructuralist thinking about structure and alterity, but Sellars himself is not directly engaged in the quoted material. Without the full footnote context, it's difficult to determine exactly which of Sellars's arguments the course is mobilizing, though his work on empiricism, the given, and the conceptual structure of perception would likely be relevant to debates about how systems represent reality.
