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 ...

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.

This analysis, developed on the basis

Concept Approximation in Concept Lattice
2007In 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 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 Conceptions, of Justice
Journal of Applied Philosophy, 1985ABSTRACT Occasioned by but not pretending to constitute a critique of Julian Le Grand's ‘Equity as an Economic Objective‘, published in the first issue of the Journal of Applied Philosophy, this paper argues that the concept of justice must be distinguished from conceptions thereof.
