Where are nature's joints? Finding the mechanisms underlying categorization
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 33 (2-3):220-221 (2010)
Abstract
Machery argues that concepts are too heterogeneous to be a natural kind. I argue that the book does not go far enough. Theories of concepts assume that the task of categorizing warrants a unique set of cognitive constructs. Instead, cognitive science must look across tasks to find a fundamental set of cognitive mechanismsOther Versions
