Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to discuss how it would be possible for a non-conceptualist theory to claim that our perceptual states represents the world in an objective and structured way which doesn’t depend on conceptual capacities to the individuation of the content. The second aim is to defend that our initial concepts and most basic beliefs about the world could be obtained through causal relation between the belief formed and the perceptual state in question. This paper does not pretend to be a proper defense of the non-conceptualist theory on the perceptual case, but instead an expositive and elucidative work about the process of transition between the non-conceptual perceptual state and the belief formed.
