Seeing-as, Concepts and Non-conceptual Content

Philosophers as disparate in their points of view as Wittgenstein and Fodor have claimed that all seeing is seeing-as and that seeing-as is by its nature conceptual.  This talk argues that they are right that all seeing is seeing-as, but wrong about seeing-as being conceptual.  The talk explores how to distinguish between conceptual and perceptual seeing-as and the relevance of the distinction to current controversies about the nature of perception.
