From thin objects to thin concepts?
Theoria 89 (3):256-265 (2023)
Abstract
In this short paper we consider Linnebo's thin/thick dichotomy: first, we show that it does not overlap with the very common one between abstract/concrete objects; second, on the basis of some difficulties with the distinction, we propose, as a possible way out, to move from thin/thick objects to thin/thick concepts.Author Profiles
