New essays by leading philosophers and cognitive scientists that
present recent findings and theoretical developments in the study
of concepts. The study of concepts has advanced dramatically in
recent years, with exciting new findings and theoretical
developments. Core concepts have been investigated in greater depth
and new lines of inquiry have blossomed, with researchers from an
ever broader range of disciplines making important contributions.
In this volume, leading philosophers and cognitive scientists offer
original essays that present the state-of-the-art in the study of
concepts. These essays, all commissioned for this book, do not
merely present the usual surveys and overviews; rather, they offer
the latest work on concepts by a diverse group of theorists as well
as discussions of the ideas that should guide research over the
next decade. The book is an essential companion volume to the
earlier Concepts: Core Readings, the definitive source for classic
texts on the nature of concepts. The essays cover concepts as they
relate to animal cognition, the brain, evolution, perception, and
language, concepts across cultures, concept acquisition and
conceptual change, concepts and normativity, concepts in context,
and conceptual individuation. The contributors include such
prominent scholars as Susan Carey, Nicola Clayton, Jerry Fodor,
Douglas Medin, Joshua Tenenbaum, and Anna Wierzbicka. Contributors
