In his seminal book (Mind and World) John McDowell argues against the widely spread claim of empiricists that content of experience might be non-conceptual. His argumentation refers to the Kantian idea of spontaneity and the conceptual and propositional activity of mind on the one hand, and to demonstrative concepts as a tool enabling full conceptualization of the entire content of any experience on the other. In this paper I am focusing on the second argument. It seems to be clear that if we assume that demonstratives indeed have this extraordinary function, we have to accept a much deeper stipulation that concerns both the work of concepts in general and ontological consequences. My claim here is that three main possible relations between concepts and the content of experience (these are constitutive, possessional and transformative relations) may lead us to three different ways of understanding content in terms of ontology. Different relations give us distinct pictures of experience and different pictures of non-conceptual content.

Many of contemporary philosophers argue against metaphysics putting forward a thesis that metaphysical claims are deflationary. This way of thinking seems to be not only persuasive but above all it rightly expresses a main difficulty of metaphysical inquires. In this paper I am trying to shed a little light on the problem of deflation of metaphysical judgments. In the first section I refer to some Wittgenstein's ideas from Tractatus logico-philosophicus and I focus on the phenomenon of manifestation as a possible source of deflation of metaphysics. The second section is devoted to the Wittgenstein's concepts of language games on the one hand and rules on the other; both of them are a key to understanding of the deepest dimensions of deflationary metaphysics. The third section is an elaboration of three models of deflation of metaphysical expressions: 1. deflation in regard to the informative status of metaphysical judgments; 2. deflation in regard to the metasemantic properties of judgments about the world, and 3. deflation in regard to the semantic ground of ontological judgments. The fourth and last part of the paper is an exposition of two crucial problems which metaphysics has to face with. I call the first of them 'a problem with conceptualization of the metaphysical experience', whereas the second one is labeled 'a problem with semantic inclusion of metaphysical expressions into judgments about facts'.
