«La formación de conceptos en ciencias y humanidades» is the work coordinated by Pablo González Casanova and Marcos Roitman Rosenmann, in paperback (Siglo XXI).
The book starts from the Latin root of «concept» (capio, «to capture») and explains that forming concepts is engendering, apprehending and delimiting ideas, tracing boundaries that separate one conceptual object from another. It then gathers reflections on this task from Greek philosophy to contemporary thought in sciences and humanities.
Published in 2006 in Spanish, the volume has 287 pages and opens with a prologue by Jaime Labastida.
A read for those interested in epistemology, philosophy of science and critical reflection on conceptual work in social sciences and humanities.
