Questions on the nature of concepts in philosophy, psychology, and
cognitive science, such as 'What are concepts?' and 'What is it to
possess a concept?' are notoriously difficult to answer. For
example, are concepts abstract mind-independent objects in some
Platonic or Fregean sense, or are they better understood as mental
representations, such as constituents of thoughts? A common view in
cognitive science is that thought is based on word-like mental
representations; some say that possessing a concept C involves
demonstrating some kind of ability with respect to C's. But which
ability? Other longstanding issues concern a proper theory of the
structure of concepts. These questions are tackled here by Simon
Baron-Cohen, Peter Carruthers, and a distinguished cast of other
scientists and philosophers.
