Description:
Review "Prinz's discussions...provide a clear overview of the field, both in philosophy and psychology." S.W. Horst Choice "Furnishing the Mind is a spirited and ingenious defense of concept empiricism. Prinz tackles the philosophical objections head-on and makes superb use of the psychological literature on concept acquisition and categorization. This book will be read with great profit by philosophers and psychologists concerned with the nature of concepts."--JosГ© Luis Bermudez, Professor of Philosophy, Washington University in St. Louis "Furnishing the Mind is the most important work on concepts to have been written since Locke's Essay. It explains what Locke saw to be true but was unable satisfactorily to articulate: that concepts are constructs out of lower-level perceptual representations. The marriage of Classical empiricism with a causal theory of reference is the core of what Prinz proposes and skillfully defends in this remarkable book. He has done us all a huge service by showing how what we all knew must be right (viz, empiricism about concepts) could be right after all."--Fiona Cowie, Department of Philosophy, California Institute of TechnologyPlease note: "Essay" should be italicized. Endorser gives permission to excerpt from quote. "This breezily written book carries you on a whirlwind tour of old theories, then lifts you on a sustained gust of fresh air. Prinz's proxytypes are the key to an ingenious new Lockean theory of concepts."--Kent Bach, Professor of Philosophy, San Francisco State University About the Author Jesse J. Prinz is Associate Professor in the Department of Philosophy, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
