Paper:
Perception and Conception
In this chapter we're concerned with the question of whether mature human experience is thoroughly conceptual, or whether it involves non-conceptual elements. Our first goal is methodological: to establish that that question is, to a large extent, an empirical question. Our second goal is to show, inter alia by relying on empirical findings, that conceptualism, in all its forms, is false.
