Contents and Vehicles in Analog Perception
Main Article Content
Abstract
Building on Christopher Peacocke’s account of analog perceptual content and my own account of analog perceptual vehicles, I defend three claims: that the perception of magnitudes often has analog contents; that the perception of magnitudes often has analog vehicles; and that the first claim is true in virtue of the second —that is, the analog vehicles help to ground the analog contents.
