This talk will focus on the nature of prereflective practical agency that formed the focus of recent debate between Dreyfus and McDowell about the role of concepts in skilled performances &ndash\; performances that may appear not to require cognitive effort. I begin by outlining my own reading of Heidegger&rsquo\;s view of articulate disclosure in Division I of Being and Time\, highlighting particularly its distinction between prepredicative and predicative ways of grasping the world. I then show how this view both differs from and is more philosophically plausible than the notion of nonconceptual &lsquo\;coping&rsquo\; that Dreyfus attributes to Heidegger. Finally\, I consider the challenge McDowell&rsquo\;s conceptualism appears to pose to my own reading of Heidegger. I argue that this challenge dissipates once we attempt to unpack the notion of conceptual form or shape that McDowell appeals to.
