The Concept of Law and The Concept of Law

Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, 1994
This lecture commemorates a great jurist and philosopher. Since Herbert Hart's recent sad death, many have paid just and eloquent tribute to his qualities as scholar, as teacher, and as human being. His work, and his approach to work and to life, were a source of guidance and inspiration to many.

The Concept of Validity.

Psychological Review, 2004
This article advances a simple conception of test validity: A test is valid for measuring an attribute if (a) the attribute exists and (b) variations in the attribute causally produce variation in the measurement outcomes. This conception is shown to diverge from current validity theory in several respects.

Students’ conceptions: culturing conceptions

Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2008
This commentary on Roth, Lee, and Hwang’s paper aims at analysing their theoretical approach in terms of its object of study, and the aspects that are brought to the fore, like the cultural activity of conversation, and those that are overshadowed, like the role of the material world and its perception on learning. This analysis, developed on the basis

Concept Approximation in Concept Lattice

2007
In this paper we present a novel approach to the concept approximations in concept lattice. Using the similar idea of rough set theory and unique properties of concept lattice, upper and lower approximations of any object or attribute set can be found by exploiting meet-(union-)irreducible elements in concept lattice, the approximations can be ...

THE CONCEPTHORSEIS A CONCEPT

The Review of Symbolic Logic, 2017
AbstractI offer an analysis of the sentence ‘the concepthorseis a concept’. It will be argued that the grammatical subject of this sentence, ‘the concepthorse’, indeed refers to a concept, and not to an object, as Frege once held. The argument is based on a criterion of proper-namehood according to which an expression is a proper name if it is so ...

The Concept and the Conception

SSRN Electronic Journal
This essay is an act of ontological gardening. It begins with a simple task: to distinguish between two terms often used interchangeably-concept and conception. What unfolds is not a dry taxonomy, but a revelation of the very dynamics of thought itself.

Concept Equations

Journal of Logic and Computation, 2004
Summary: The author studies systems of equations which naturally arise in the formalization of the Port-Royal theory of concepts. An unknown quantity is a relation between objects and attributes. We study the case where the relation is fuzzy with truth values in a complete residuated lattice, covering therefore the special cases of complete Boolean ...

Flexible Concepts Are Fuzzy Concepts

2013
The last few decades have seen remarkable advances in Artificial Intelligence, with some form of intelligent system now embedded in a wide range of devices and software, from mobile phones to internet search engines. However, there are many aspects of intelligent behaviour that these systems still cannot replicate.
