FLOREZ-QUINTERO, Daian Tatiana. Is Non-conceptualism a Form of the Myth of the Given?. discus.filos [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.33, pp.57-70. ISSN 0124-6127.  https://doi.org/10.17151/difil.2018.19.33.5.

In this paper I shall examine whether noconceptualism is a form of the Myth of the Given and I shall argue that perceptions, even if their content is non-conceptual, belong to the “space of reasons”. I shall hold that perceptual experiences legitimately belong to the logical space of reasons iff they meet the following three conditions: (i) they have semantic content, (ii) they are rule-governed, and (iii) they have some properties such that, due to their nature, one could say that when a perceptual experience satisfies them, it constitutes a reason to believe something.

Keywords : Myth of the given; non-conceptualism; perceptual experience; mediational content.
