I'm still my thoughts about what might be content of perceptions. I now have a theory: The content of a perception is nothing other than the functional (s) (or supervenes on the?) Role of perception. In a functional role, I mean here not only so that the perception just caused what other mental states it causes, and for what behavior it leads. I would also group including, with which this perception is causally covaries in the evolutionary history of a being, and what is the evolutionary purpose of such a perception, therefore.
So when I see a red tomato, then the content of my perception that something is red, small and round in front of me is. This content is however just in (or supervenes on) the causal role of my perception in evolutionary preconditions.
What say you?
