Klappentext The book argues that reasons for using one concept rather than another arise from conceptual needs that may be discovered by adopting an autoethnographic stance. Matthew Queloz shows that concepts that conflict, or exhibit other vices such as vagueness or superficiality, may be the concepts that serve us best.
