Essays on Nonconceptual Content  (English, Paperback, Gunther York)

According to the widespread conceptualist view, all mental contents are governed by concepts and individual processes. In recent years, however, an increasing number of philosophers have argued for the indispensability of nonconceptual content based on perceptual, emotional and qualitative experiences; informational and computational states; memory; and practical knowledge. Writers from disciplines as varied as the philosophy of mind, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, epistemology, linguistics, religious psychology, and aesthetics have challenged conceptualism.
