The objective of this course is to examine the contribution of experimental cognitive science to the long-standing debates about the content, format, and origins of humans’ conceptual repertoire. The course will review developmental and comparative evidence relevant to establishing the existence and nature of “core knowledge” systems acting as a starting point for conceptual development. It will also address the issue of conceptual change, and the process through which new representational systems may emerge. It is also an aim of the course to examine different perspectives on the relations between language and thought and the nature of concepts. The course will be primarily based on S. Carey’s book “The origin of concepts”, and it presupposes some basic knowledge of cognitive psychology.
