To this end, I begin by reconstructing the general outlines of McDowell's (1994a) conceptualist position. I then point out the epistemic, transcendental, and ethical motivations that led the author to defend this position, highlighting its affinity with certain milestones of Kantian philosophy. Next, I analyze McDowell’s (2008a) revision of his position in light of non-conceptualist criticisms, the notion of "intuitional content," and its relationship with the aforementioned motivations. Finally, I argue that the authors of such criticisms still owe a dialogue with the foundational premise that sparked the debate: "intuitions, without concepts, are blind" (Kant KrV, A51/B76). Este trabajo presenta un análisis de las raíces kantianas del debate entre conceptualistas y no-conceptualistas en la filosofía contemporánea de la percepción y de las ciencias cognitivas. Para ello, comienzo reconstruyendo los lineamientos generales de la posición conceptualista de McDowell (1994a). Luego, señalo las motivaciones epistémicas, trascendentales y éticas que llevaron al autor a defender esta posición, destacando su afinidad con ciertos hitos de la filosofía kantiana. A continuación, analizo la revisión que McDowell (2008a) realiza de su posición a la luz de críticas no-conceptualistas, la noción de “contenido intuicional” y su relación con las mencionadas motivaciones. Por último, sostengo que los autores de tales críticas aún adeudan un dialogo con la premisa fundacional que disparó el debate: “las intuiciones, sin conceptos, son ciegas” (Kant KrV, A51/B76). application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/16506 10.34096/cf.n83.16506 spa Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/CdF/article/view/16506/15000 Derechos de autor 2024 Cuadernos de filosofía Cuadernos de filosofía; Núm. 83 (2024) 2362-485X 0590-1901 Keywords: Justification, perceptual experience, conceptual content, non-conceptual content, representationalism Palabras clave: Justificación, experiencia perceptiva, contenido conceptual, contenido no-conceptual, representacionalismo The Kantian Motivations Behind McDowell's Conceptualism Las motivaciones kantianas del conceptualismo de McDowell info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=cufilo&d=16506_oai
