Natural Kinds and Conceptual Change - Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Biology
LaPorte, Joseph (Hope College, Michigan)
In this illuminating book, Joseph LaPorte argues that scientists do not discover that sentences about natural kinds, like 'Whales are mammals, not fish', are true rather than false. Instead, scientists find that these sentences were vague in the language of earlier speakers and they refine the meanings of the relevant natural-kind terms to make the sentences true.
