 Leaving aside Sellars’ idiosyncratic way of construing existence statements, if a distinction between categorial and non-categorial existence claims can be made, then it would be perfectly coherent to indicate that one is adopting or working in the framework of ‘events’ by asserting that ‘events exist’ (tenselessly, in the categorial sense) without being committed to the “tenseless existence” of particular events which may be past, present, or future (in the non-categorial sense).
