Concept is a central notion in modern philosophy. This book deals with the philosopher Aristotle to compare modern theories of concepts as he is said to be the predecessor both of classical theory and of modal theories of concepts in the modern debate. Both pathêma and logos are central to his theory of language, thought, and concepts.
