Doing Without Concepts By Edouard Machery * By EDOUARD MACHERY

Edouard Chatton (1883-1947) and the dinoflagellate protists: concepts and models.

Edouard Chatton contributed to our knowledge of single-celled protoctists, especially ciliates and dinoflagellates, free-living and/or symbiotic, in relation to the marine invertebrate animals in which they reside. More than the description of many new families, genera and species, and of their life cycles, he anticipated several major concepts of cell biology, including the fundamental differe...

Coyote unmanned aircraft system observations in Hurricane Edouard (2014)

Horizontal wind, temperature, and moisture observations are presented from two Coyote unmanned aircraft system (UAS) flights in the boundary layer of Hurricane Edouard (2014). The first flight sampled the meteorological conditions in the eye and eyewall at altitudes from 900 to 1500m while Edouard was a major hurricane (105 kt) on 16 September 2014. The following day, a second Coyote sampled th...

We have adapted to RNA molecules the ligation-mediated polymerase chain reaction (LMPCR) procedure of genomic sequencing [Mueller, P. R. & Wold, B. (1989) Science 246, 780-786]. This new procedure, the reverse ligation-mediated PCR (RLPCR), is sufficiently sensitive to allow "in vivo" footprinting of minor RNA species. It is based on the ligation of an RNA linker of known sequence to every 5' e...

Précis of doing without concepts.

Although cognitive scientists have learned a lot about concepts, their findings have yet to be organized in a coherent theoretical framework. In addition, after twenty years of controversy, there is little sign that philosophers and psychologists are converging toward an agreement about the very nature of concepts. Doing without Concepts (Machery 2009) attempts to remedy this state of affairs. ...
