 Several reasons have been proposed for considering state, rather than content, nonconceptualism as of primary importance in the nonconceptual debate. First, as many have noted (Byrne 2003, 2005, Speaks 2005, Crowther 2006, Heck 2007), keeping the state/content distinction in mind suggests that much of the recent debate purportedly aiming at the content of perception in fact only concerns state-nonconceptualism. Arguments for the nonconceptual content of perception usually proceed via demonstration of the concept-independence of perception. However, this is a characteristic of state-nonconceptualism; it does not seem to entail content-nonconceptualism directly. In section  4.1,  after reviewing the arguments that have been proposed for the nonconceptual content of perception, we will return to this concern.
