Description

Explore the fundamental questions of the human mind with The Building Blocks of Thought: A Rationalist Account of the Origins of Concepts. Published by Oxford University Press, this authoritative study examines one of the most central topics in cognitive science: how concepts originate. The book provides a comprehensive survey of the long-standing debate between rationalists and empiricists. This intellectual conflict stretches from the earliest beginnings of philosophy to the forefront of modern cognitive research.
