Abstract:
The book addresses the debate on whether the representational content of perceptual experience is conceptual or non-conceptual, by bringing out the points of comparison between Kant's conception of intuition and contemporary accounts of non-conceptual content. It is argued that intuition provides the most basic form of intentionality - pre-conceptual reference to objects, which underlies the acts of conceptualization and judgment.
