Concepts

Book • 1998
In 'Concepts: Where Cognitive Science Went Wrong', Jerry A. Fodor critiques prevailing theories in cognitive science, arguing for an atomistic theory of concepts.

He maintains that concepts are unstructured mental representations and challenges the idea that they are learned through composition.

Fodor's work is a significant contribution to the philosophy of mind and cognitive science, offering a fresh perspective on how concepts are formed and understood.
