Concepts by Eric Margolis

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.

Eric Margolis is a sociologist and Assistant Professor in the Division of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at the Arizona State University College of Education.
