Resumen:
In Mind and World and subsequent works, McDowell defends a minimal version of empiricism according to which (among other things) perceptual experiences constitute reasons for holding empirical beliefs (McDowell, 1994, 2002, 2009a, 2009b). In this paper I want to evaluate an objection to this thesis. The objection states that, because of its inert character, experiences by themselves are not able to constitute reasons for holding any belief (Davidson, 2001; Stroud, 2002; Glüer, 2004). In contrast, my thesis is that, even though there is something correct in the objection (only an accepted content can be a reason), that is not sufficient for rejecting the epistemological character that minimal empiricism attributes to perceptual experience.
