La critique néokantienne de Kant et l’instauration d’une théorie conceptualiste de la perception

摘要

This paper contributes to explor the historical background of contemporarynconceptualism. It suggests that a step forward toward a more promisingnunderstanding of this historical background can be made if we focus, not on thenmuch-discussed, controversial position of Kant, but rather on the straightforwardnposition of some main representatives of classical neo-Kantianism. My mainnhypothesis is that criticisms of Kant’s transcendantal aesthetics coming from PaulnNatorp (1854–1924) and Bruno Bauch (1877–1942) may be regarded as a signifi -ncant historical source for the so-called “content” conceptualism (especially innMcDowell’s version), insofar as they imply that the contents of perception arenconceptual contents.
