The Contents of Perceptual Experience: A Kantian Perspective

The book explores the philosophical debate on the nature of perceptual experience, specifically whether it is rooted in conceptual or non-conceptual content. It compares Kant's notion of intuition with contemporary theories from thinkers like G. Evans and F. Dretske, arguing that intuition serves as the foundational form of intentionality. This pre-conceptual reference to objects is posited as essential for understanding how we form concepts and make judgments, highlighting the significance of Kant's ideas in modern discussions of perception.
