Concepts: A Critical Approach Summary

Concepts: A Critical Approach: Studies in Critical Social Sciences, Volume 44 by Andy Blunden

Andy Blunden presents an interdisciplinary review of theories of concepts of interest to cognitive psychology, analytic philosophy, linguistics, and the history of science.
