The commentators raised issues relevant to all three important theses of The Origin of Concepts (TOOC). Some questioned the very existence of innate representational primitives, and others questioned my claims about their richness and whether they should be thought of as concepts. Some questioned the existence of conceptual discontinuity in the course of knowledge acquisition and others argued that discontinuity is much more common than portrayed in TOOC. Some raised issues with my characterization of Quinian bootstrapping, and others questioned the dual factor theory of concepts motivated by my picture of conceptual development.
评论者们提出了与《概念的起源》(TOOC)的所有三个重要论点相关的问题。一些人质疑先天表征原语的存在,另一些人则质疑我关于它们丰富性的主张,以及它们是否应被视为概念。一些人质疑在知识获取过程中概念不连续性的存在,另一些人则认为不连续性比《概念的起源》中所描绘的更为普遍。一些人对我对奎因自展法的描述提出了问题,另一些人则质疑由我的概念发展图景所激发的概念双因素理论。
