The attribution of non-conceptual contents aims at a fine-grained description of experience. But it seems that the integration of different perceptual states, necessary to constitute the experience, demands a conceptual vocabulary, to which rational constraints apply. In this paper, I argue against this second thesis: non-conceptual contents are part of human experience, organized according to rational constraints. Integration of experience does not demand a conceptual vocabulary, although rational constraints apply to the integration of human experience. Non conceptual contents are part of human experience, and therefore are subject to rational constraints, even if they can only be attributed in a given course of actions, and identified through demonstrative devices, precisely because they are not regimented by concepts.
