Beschreibung
Over recent years, the psychology of concepts has been rejuvenated by new work on prototypes, inventive ideas on causal cognition, the development of neo-empiricist theories of concepts, and the inputs of the budding neuropsychology of concepts. But our empirical knowledge about concepts has yet to be organized in a coherent framework. In Doing without Concepts , Edouard Machery argues that the dominant psychological theories of concepts fail to provide such aframework and that drastic conceptual changes are required to make sense of the research on concepts in psychology and neuropsychology.
