"A Theory of Concepts"

"A Theory of Concepts" explores how our minds form and understand the basic building blocks of knowledge—concepts like "cat," "justice," or "color." It examines what it means for something to be a concept, how concepts are organized, and how they enable us to think, communicate, and categorize the world. The theory addresses questions about whether concepts are based on shared features, prototypes, or mental representations, aiming to explain the nature of human understanding and cognition in a structured way.
