Abstract

In this paper, I sketch a three-part proposal that aims to meet
several key desiderata for concepts.  I propose that the intensional
contents of concepts are the referential contents of conceptions, that
conceptions are not legislative, but that the functions of conceptions
play a reference-fixing role.
