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.

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 ...

Mind & Language, 1995
