Capacities Second (or Never)

Schellenberg defends a “capacities-first” view, on which capacities (specifically, capacities that function to discriminate and single out particulars in the environment) are metaphysically and explanatorily prior to representation, content, evidence, justification, knowledge, and the like. Her view is sophisticated and complex and has a number of interesting and compelling features. But I think the view works just as well, or better, without any mention of capacities.
