5 Acknowledgments This book is a descendant of my dissertation. I started my research into matters of conceptual and nonconceptual content in late 2005 on Sven Walters advice, and I thank him for pointing me in the direction of this intriguing topic. I am greatly indebted to my supervisor Heinz-Dieter Heckmann and my advisors Niko Strobach and Frank Hofmann for their support and their very helpful comments. I am obliged to the faculty of the Department of Philosophy at Saarland University for stimulating discussions of my work, especially to Susanne Mantel, Uwe Meixner, Ulrich Nortmann, and Corina Stroessner. Moreover, I would like to thank Assaf Weksler, Axel Schubert, and Oliver Petersen for reading and commenting on the sections of the book. I have presented parts of the book on a number of occasions, and I am thankful to the audience for the enlightening discussions. In 2009, I gave presentations at the GAP.7 conference in Bremen and the Second European Graduate School in Philosophy of Language, Mind and Science in Lausanne. In 2011, I presented at the conference on the Theory-Ladenness of Experience in Düsseldorf and at the European Epistemology Network Meeting in Lund. In 2012, I presented at the workshop on Perception and Knowledge in Graz and at the workshop on New Work on Concepts in Luxembourg. Finally, in 2013, I gave presentations at the workshop on Minds without Magic in Bielefeld and at the workshop on Epistemic Justification and Reasons in Luxembourg. Among the many helpful commentators, I am especially grateful to Annalisa Coliva, Tim Crane, Marian David, Christian Nimtz, Raphael van Riel, Susanna Schellenberg, Maja Spener, Mark Textor, Michael Tye, and Timothy Williamson. Material from Sect. 6.2 has been published as The Argument from Animal and Infant Perception in Teorema. The section has profited considerably from the suggestions of an anonymous referee. Parts of Chap. 8 have been published in the Journal for General Philosophy of Science as Does Perceptual Content have to be Objective? A Defense of Nonconceptualism. Here as well, my thanks go to the anonymous referees for their extremely helpful comments. I would also like to thank an anonymous referee for Springer for the comments and Gualtiero Piccinini for his support in preparing the manuscript for Springer s Studies in Brain and Mind series. v
6 vi Acknowledgments Finally, I am deeply grateful to my family for their persistent support and patience. Most of all, I thank Robert McGee for his advice with respect to both organization and philosophy and for encouraging me in my philosophical pursuits.
