Video description: "Stanford Symbolic Systems Distinguished Speaker Lecture Thursday, March 6, 2013 Douglas Hofstadter, College of Arts and Sciences Distinguished Professor of Cognitive Science and Comparative Literature. Indiana University What is a quintessential category?  Bird, perhaps?  Or maybe chair?  And what is a quintessential concept?  Two? Number?  Prime number? I'm not trying to put words into your mouth -- I'm just trying to get you to ask yourself these questions.  Also, I wonder if by any chance you thought that these are really exactly the same question, in which case you might have wondered why I asked you the same question twice. Or did you perhaps think something along these lines: "A category is a set of objects out there in the real world, whereas a concept is a mental entity that gets activated whenever one sees a member of the corresponding category"?  In that case, you would essentially be equating a category with the extension of a set, and a concept with the intension of a set.  (Those are notions borrowed from mathematical logic and set theory.) Actually, none of the notions above is at all close to the viewpoint that I wish to convey to you about concepts and categories.  My viewpoint is, I think, quite unorthodox and quite radical, and it claims that concepts and categories include many extremely commonplace, dime-a-dozen notions that you might never have thought of as being categories or concepts.  (Sorry -- I'm not going to list any of them here; you'll have to come to the talk to find out what I mean!)  I will try to convince you that, despite any initial skepticism, these are primordial, quintessential cases, and I hope that this novel view will have a serious impact on what you think thinking is."
