ABSTRACT
Concept possession vs. concept individuation
Which comes first, an account of concept individuation, or an account of concept possession? The Classical account has it that individuation comes first: concepts are individuated by what they are concepts of. But, as has been pointed out [Fodor, 1994], the Classical approach is an infamous and spectacular failure: either the relation between concepts and what they are of is stipulated, making it a mystery how we could possess such things, or it is substantive, yet no account of this relation has been given.
