        I discuss an argument for non-conceptualism based on animal and infant perception. Crudely put, some animals and infants who possess no concepts nonetheless have perceptual states with non-conceptual content. Perceptual experiences of adult humans have the same kind of content as the experiences of animals and infants, so the content of the perceptual experiences of adult humans is also non-conceptual. I defend this argument against potential attacks from the conceptualist. I argue that there are indeed creatures which possess no concepts, but have perceptual experiences, and I attack McDowell's view that we share perceptual sensitivity with animals and infants, but not genuine perceptual contents.
        En este trabajo planteo un argumento a favor el no-conceptualismo basado en la percepción animal e infantil. Dicho sucintamente, algunos animales y algunos niños que no poseen conceptos tienen sin embargo estados perceptivos con contenido no-conceptual. Las experiencias perceptivas de los seres humanos adultos tienen el mismo género de contenido que las experiencias de los animales y los niños; de manera que el contenido de las experiencias perceptivas de los seres humanos adultos es asi-mismo no-conceptual. Defiendo este argumento contra los posibles ataques de los conceptualistas. Aduzco que evidentemente existen criaturas que no poseen conceptos, aunque tienen experiencias perceptivas, y combato la opinión de McDowell de que compartimos sensibilidad perceptiva con animales y niños pero no contenidos perceptivos genuinos.
