Opis

Part of a series focusing on cognitive science, where various disciplines - psychology, linguistics, cognitive neuroscience, philosophy and computational theory - join forces in the investigation of thought, awareness, understanding, and associated workings of the mind. Each book aims to be accessible beyond the ranks of specialists, so as to reach an interdisciplinary and postgraduate readership. This volume focuses on concepts, exploring what concepts have to be and the demise of definitions.

Recenzje

Fodor continues to be one of philosophy's great idea generators. This provocative book will set the agenda for discussion about concepts for years to come. Fodor argues for atomism about concepts with wit, verve and style. Everyone interested in philosophical issues of language or mind should study this book.
