Notes

  1. Unless otherwise noted, all references are to this book

  2. See especially Schear’s McDowell/Dreyfus Debate (2013) for an overview of contemporary discussions on non-conceptual content within phenomenology or my review of it (Van Mazijk 2014)

  3. See (McDowell 1994, p. 26) for one of the most quoted fragments of Mind and World, on the basis of which many non-conceptualists have argued for a logical fallacy in McDowell’s argumentative structure (e.g. Heck 2000, Peacocke 2001, Hopp 2010, 2011)

  4. See also (p. 201–206) where Hopp distinguishes a number of different syntheses

  5. Cf. also Evans’s generality constraint (1982, pp. 100–105)

  6. Cf. McDowell (1994, pp. 46–65) and Kelly (2001)

  7. As is well known, McDowell nuanced his views about the extent to which concepts can figure in perception in his later works on pressure of Travis (2004). His claim about perception being open to conceptualization has remained unaltered

  8. Note that this is also a main theme in the first sections of Husserl’s Fifth Logical Investigations
