Folk biology and external definitions
Hampton, J. A. (1998). Folk biology and external definitions. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 21(4), p. 574. doi: 10.1017/s0140525x98271275
Abstract
Atran’s thesis has strong implications for the doctrine of externalism in concepts (Fodor 1994). Beliefs about biological kinds may involve a degree of deference to scientific categories, but these categories are not truly scientific. They involve instead a folk view of science itself.
