Conceptualism is the view that cognizers can have mental
representations of the world only if they possess the adequate
concepts by means of which they can specify what they represent. By
contrast, non-conceptualism is the view that mental representations
of the world do not necessarily presuppose concepts by means of
which the content of these representations can be specified, thus
cognizers can have mental representations of the world that are
non-conceptual. Consequently, if conceptualism is true then
non-conceptualism must be false, and vice versa. This
incompatibility makes the current debate over conceptualism and
non-conceptualism a fundamental controversy since the range of
conceptual capacities that cognizers have certainly has an impact
on their mental representations of the world, on how sense
perception is structured, and how external world beliefs are
justified. Conceptualists and non-conceptualists alike refer to
Kant as the major authoritative reference point from which they
start and develop their arguments. The appeal to Kant attempts to
pave the way for a robust answer to the question of whether or not
there is non-conceptual content. Since the incompatibility of the
conceptualist and non-conceptualist readings of Kant indicate a
paradigm case, hopes have risen that the answer to the question of
whether Kant is a conceptualist or a non-conceptualist might settle
the contemporary controversy across the board. This volume searches
for that answer. This book is based on a special issue of the
International Journal of Philosophical Studies.
