What is perception? What is, if any, its content? What is the
contribution of perception to knowledge? Perception and Its Content:
Toward the Propositional Attitude View 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 naïve realism), the book
examines the nature of perceptual content. Daniel Kalpokas critically
scrutinizes different varieties of non-conceptualism and claims that
the content of experience is partly conceptual. Perception and Its
Content 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’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.
