2021Jurisprudents often conceive their task as requiring investigating “the concept of law.” What is, however, the concept of “(the) concept of law”?

Students’ conceptions: culturing conceptions
Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2008This 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

Concepts versus conceptions (again)
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2010AbstractMachery neglects the crucial role of concepts in psychological explanation, as well as the efforts of numerous “externalists” of the last 40 years to provide an account of that role. He rightly calls attention to the wide variation in people's epistemic relations to concepts – people'sconceptionsof things – but fails to appreciate how ...

The Concept and the Conception of Citizenship
2019In this chapter, we introduce the fundamental concepts used in this book. We observe that citizenship is an essentially contested concept. However, it is still possible to single out the core meaning of citizenship in conceptual terms as a lasting and relational personal status, characteristic of those who are full members of a self-governing polity ...

Mind & Language, 1995
Abstract:Two main theories of concepts have emerged in the recent psychological literature: the Prototype Theory (which considers concepts to be self‐contained lists of features) and the Theory Theory (which conceives of them as being embedded within larger theoretical networks). Experiments supporting the first theory usually differ substantially from

This play both invents and discovers the concept, both lets it appear and gives it existence, and in doing this it also blurs the distinction between what is given ...

The Concept-Conception Distinction
Philosophical Issues, 19981. Higginbotham1 argues in favour of a threefold distinction between possessing a concept, having a conception of the concept and having a conscious view of it. But in speaking of having a conception, one must take care to distinguish having a conception of a concept from having a conception associated with the concept which one takes to be analytic to
