Natural Function and Perceptual Content.
Rubner, Andrew.

Natural Function and Perceptual Content. - Ann Arbor : ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, 2024 - 178 p.

Source: Dissertations Abstracts International, Volume: 85-11, Section: A.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, School of Graduate Studies, 2024.

This dissertation develops two interrelated theories: A theory of natural function, which tells us in virtue of what a particular biological item has the function it has; and a theory of perceptual content, which tell us in virtue of what a particular perceptual state represents what it does (so as to allow for misrepresentation). The two theories are interconnected insofar as I use my theory of natural function to ground my theory of perceptual content. The dissertation sets out to resolve a number of long standing issues that have plagued previous theories of perceptual content. In particular the dissertation, when taken as a package deal, endorses a theory of perceptual content that:(i) Does not face issues concerning swamp-people and related phenomena (chapters 1 and 3).(ii) Avoids a number of content indeterminacy issues (chapter 3).(iii) And, allows for cases of reliable/systematic misperception (chapter 4).
