Concept

Thought Questions:

Before looking the term up:

  • What do you think a concept is?

  • Where and how did you first encounter the idea?

  • Can we describe the notion of Concept without using concepts?

    • If we can: how do we do it? What kinds of things can be used if not concepts? How do we know when we have used a concept?

    • If we can not what does that suggest about how minds and brains work? What limitations does it suggest? In what other sciences or areas of life does this state of affairs occur?
