“…What's more, this reflexive perceptual acquaintance is ultimately non‐representational, insofar as awareness intrinsically lacks a representational structure ( ākāra ) involving an intentional object to be apprehended ( grāhya ) and a vehicle that carries out that apprehension ( grāhaka ) (Kellner, 2017a, 2017b). The appearance of any dualistic representational structure – even in the putatively non‐conceptual perception of objects – is a fundamentally cognitive illusion that happens to be as experientially stubborn as illusions born of sensory defects (Eltschinger, 2005, pp. 169–171; Eltschinger, 2009a, p. 61; but cf.…”

Some recent surveys of the modern philosophical debate over the existence of non-conceptual perceptual content have concluded that the distinction between conceptual and non-conceptual representations is largely terminological. To remedy this terminological impasse, Robert Hanna and Monima Chadha claim that non-conceptualists must defend an essentialist view of non-conceptual content, according to which perceptual states have representational content whose structure and psychological function is necessarily distinct from that of conceptual states. Hanna and Chadha additionally suggest that non-conceptualists should go "back to Kant" to find the most defensible version of an essentialist content non-conceptualism. I propose instead that non-conceptualists go back even further to the 7th century Indian Buddhist philosopher Dharmakīrti, so that they may not only find historical precedent for an essentialist content view, but also some better arguments in its favor. This essay reconstructs Dharmakīrti's essentialist non-conceptualism about the contents of conscious sensory representations, and the refined theory of conceptualization that it presupposes. In particular, I examine his arguments from the proprietary phenomenology of sensory experience, the cognitive encapsulation of sensory processing, as well as the iconic format of sensory representations, and assess the strength of these arguments relative to their modern counterparts. **Due to journal word limits, Sanskrit text and translations are mostly absent in the published version.
