Description

What is perception? What is, if any, its content? What is the contribution of perception to knowledge? <i>Perception and Its Content: Toward the Propositional Attitude View</i> argues that perception has conceptual, propositional, and world-dependent content. After criticizing those theories of experience that conceive it as contentless (the causal-linkage approach and na&iuml;ve realism), the book examines the nature of perceptual content. <br><br>Daniel Kalpokas critically scrutinizes different varieties of non-conceptualism and claims that the content of experience is partly conceptual. <i>Perception and Its Content</i> defends the propositional-attitude view, according to which perceptual content is propositional in nature, and explores the world-dependent character of such content. Kalpokas holds that the content of experience is composed of concepts and the presented objects, such as they appear from the subject&rsquo;s point of view and determined environmental conditions. According to this view, perception provides non-inferential knowledge of the truth-makers of our judgments and beliefs. Furthermore, and importantly, that view sheds light on how the mind relates to the world.
