Concepts

Abstract

It is not at all true that concepts, even when constructed according to the rules of science, get their authority uniquely from their objective value. It is not enough that they be tme to get believed If they are not in harmony with the other beliefs and opinions, or, in a word, with the mass of the other collective representations (the concepts taken for granted by most people in a given time and place), they will be denied; minds will be closed to them; consequently it will be as though they did not exist. [Durkheim, 1912, Eng! translation 1965, p. 486] [I]
