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 the contemporary accounts of non-conceptual
content, encountered in the writings of G. Evans, Ch. Peacocke, F.
Dretske, T. Crane, M. G. F. Martin, and others. Following R.
Aquila's reading of Kant's conception of representation, the author
argues that intuition (Anschauung, intuitus) provides the most
basic form of intentionality - pre-conceptual reference to objects,
which underlies the acts of conceptualization and judgment. The
book advances an interpretation of Kant's theory of experience in
the light of such questions as: Does conscious perceptual
experience of objects require that subjects possess concepts of
these objects? Do the contents of experience differ from the
contents of beliefs or judgments? And if they do, what accounts for
this difference? These questions take us to the most puzzling
philosophical topic of the relation between mind and world. Anna
Tomaszewska argues that this relation does not involve conceptual
capacities alone but also, on the most basic level of perceptual
experience, pre-cognitive "sensible intuition," enabling
relatedness to objects that remains uninformed by concepts. In a
nutshell, on her interpretation, Kant can be taken to subscribe to
the view that perceptual cognition does not have rational
underpinnings.
