  • More about Number Concepts: An Interdisciplinary Inquiry

This Element critically assesses mainstream number cognition research, identifies and evaluates philosophical assumptions, and presents a novel pluralism about number concepts. It is written for researchers and students in philosophy and the behavioral sciences.

Publisher: Cambridge University Press


This comprehensive Element, designed for scholars and students in philosophy and the behavioral sciences, offers a thorough and critical examination of existing research on number concepts in developmental psychology and cognitive science. It serves four primary objectives:

• First, it delineates the fundamental tenets of mainstream number cognition research, encompassing the commitment to representationalism, the notion that specific cognitive systems are dedicated to numbers, and the significant milestones in the evolution of number cognition.
• Secondly, it presents a comprehensive taxonomy of influential viewpoints within mainstream number cognition research, alongside the key challenges these views confront.
• Thirdly, it identifies and critically evaluates a set of core philosophical assumptions frequently embraced by number cognition researchers.
• Lastly, the Element articulates and defends a novel perspective on pluralism regarding number concepts.

In undertaking this review, the Element employs a rigorous and systematic approach, drawing upon a wide range of scholarly sources and employing analytical frameworks to examine the state-of-the-art research in this field. By exploring the core commitments, perspectives, assumptions, and pluralism about number concepts, this Element provides valuable insights into the current understanding of numerical cognition and its philosophical implications. It serves as a valuable resource for researchers, students, and scholars interested in advancing our knowledge of number concepts and their philosophical foundations.
