Intentionality and Conceptualization
After having introduced some brief philosophical considerations, the nature of intentionality is considered. Then, the delicate issue of the extent to which children show intentionality is discussed. Successively concepts, schemata, and categories are again analyzed. We are now in the position to deal with one of the most difficult problems of this book: The nature of concepts. Finally, the issue of the relation between development and acquisition of concepts is discussed.
