This chapter explores the question, “What is a concept?” It sets out the idea that a concept is neither given nor created but, rather, performed or played in the act of conceptualization. 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 ...

Philosophical Issues, 1998
There are a number of important themes in professor Higginbotham's paper. I will focus here on what I take to be the main topic of the paper: whether there is a distinction to be drawn between what he calls "possessing a concept" and "having an adequate conception of a concept" and what this alleged distinction amounts to.

Distinguishes between discussing the scientificity, the discursivity, the historicity, and the politicality of concepts. Focusing on the last of these, offers a way of moving to and past the limit of any epistemological discussion of concept production, and toward a way of understanding concepts not as instruments serving to isolate or separate from ...

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 ...

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.

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

A dialogical conception of concepts
Theory & Psychology, 2014Classical psychology and philosophy have conceived of thinking as being intimately related to concepts. According to predominant psychological theories, concepts are the building blocks of propositional thought. Although important authors such as William James and Lev Vygotsky offered alternative accounts of concepts, they have been largely ignored ...

Philosophical Issues, 1994
An informal, but revisionist, discussion of the role that the concept of a concept plays in recent theories of the cognitive mind. It is argued that the practically universal assumption that concepts are (at least partially) individuated by their roles in inferences is probably mistaken.

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
