First sentence: What kind of categories do human concepts represent?
Description: "The Nature of Concepts examines a central issue for all the main disciplines in cognitive science: how the human mind creates and passes on to other human minds a concept. This excellent cross-disciplinary collection presents some of the most recent approaches to concepts, and discusses their structure, evolution, representation and relationship with the external world." "The Nature of Concepts will be of interest to cognitive scientists, psychologists and linguists who wish to become or remain acquainted with recent developments in the field of the study of concepts."--Jacket.
