• Resumen

  • In this paper I present a psychofunctionalist argument for conceptualism, the thesis that conscious visual experience is a conceptual state rather than a nonconceptual state. The argument draws on the holistic character of functionalist accounts of mind, together with the �Two Visual Systems Hypothesis� notably defended by Melvyn Goodale and David Milner.
