Reflecting on Language from "Sideways-on": Preparatory and Non-Preparatory Aspects-Seeing
No full textAspect-seeing, I claim, involves reflection on language. It involves letting oneself feel what it would be like to capture something with a certain concept—conceptualize it—all the while remaining uncommitted to this conceptualization. I distinguish between two kinds of aspect-perception: 1) Preparatory aspect-perception: allows us to develop, criticize, and shape concepts. It typically involves bringing a concept to an object for the purpose of examining what would be the best way to conceptualize it. 2) Non-Preparatory aspect-perception: allows us to express the ingraspability of certain experiences. It typically involves bringing a concept to an object for the purpose of showing—per impossible—what it would take to properly capture one’s experience. I demonstrate the usefulness of the two kinds of aspect perception in making conceptual judgments, as well as in making moral and aesthetic judgments
