"Concepts" "Core Readings" traces the develoment of one of the
most active areas of investigation in cognitive science. This
comprehensive volume brings together the essential background
readings from philosophy, psychology, and linguistics, while
providing a broad sampling of contemporary research. The first part
of the book centers around the fall of the Classical Theory of
Concepts in the face of attacks by W.V.O. Quine, Ludwig
Wittgenstein, Eleanor Rosch, and others, emphasizing the emergence
and development of the Prototype Theory and the controversies it
spurred. The second part surveys a broad range of contemporary
theories -- Neoclassical Theories, the Prototype Theory, the
Theory-Theory, and Conceptual Atomism.
