New concepts are constantly being introduced into our thinking.
Conceptual Systems explores how these new concepts are entered into
our systems along with sufficient continuity with older ideas to
ensure understanding. The encyclopedic breadth of this text
highlights the many different aspects and disciplines that together
present an insightful view into the various theories of concepts.
Harold Brown, a reputable author in the philosophy of science
examines several historically influential theories of concepts as
well as presenting a clear view on the general theory of conceptual
change. Case studies discuss examples of conceptual change in the
history of physics including the move in seventeenth century
physics from Galileo to Descates to Newton; and the conceptual
framework of the 'standard model' in the late twentieth century
high-energy physics. The key central themes in the philosophy of
science that are explored in detail in this enormous book make it
an essential read for academics in this field.
