Mental Content, Nonconceptual Chapter uri icon

abstract

  • Abstract It has long been thought that the ways in which a creature can represent the world are determined by its conceptual capacities. Advocates of nonconceptual content have challenged this by suggesting that some mental states can represent the world even though the bearer of those mental states does not possess the concepts required to specify their content.
