 An additional reason that the “state” view might be found appealing is that it allows for the commonsensical notion that the contents of perception can be taken at face value to produce beliefs that have the same content. If, on the other hand, one holds that the content of perception is of a fundamentally different kind than that of belief, it is less easy to see how one can respect the intuition that one believes the same thing that one perceives (Byrne 2005, Speaks 2005). Furthermore, it has been argued that perception can play a justificatory role in the production of perceptual beliefs only if belief and perception involve the same kind of content (McDowell 1994a, 2006, Brewer 1999, 2005). This claim has been disputed (e.g., Heck 2000, Peacocke 2001a, Lerman 2010, Cahen 2019. For more on the justificatory role of perception see section  4.1).
