I am by no means a disciplined metaphysician, so I'm hesitant to reply, partly
because you seem like you're ready to pounce. But I'll jump in anyway:
Perceptions are very close to concepts. I suppose they are sort of
mini-concepts. They are sensory input which are initially sorted and then
combined into larger perceptions that are called concepts.
Have I succeeded in making a big mess?
