18. Thought / D. Concepts / 1. Concepts / a. Nature of concepts
Mental files are individual concepts (thought constituents) [Recanati]
     Full Idea: I want mental files (properly speaking) to serve as individual concepts, i.e. thought constituents.
     From: François Recanati (Mental Files [2012], 5.3)
     A reaction: This is why the concept of mental files is so neat - it gives you a theory of reference and a theory of concepts. I love the files approach because it precisely fits my own introspective experiences. Hope I'm not odd in that way.
