The position that scientific concepts are not simply discovered in nature but are human creations that shape what we can think and observe. "Gene," "species," "force," "mental illness"—these aren't natural kinds waiting to be found; they're tools we've developed to organize experience. They're real in their effects, but their reality depends on our conceptual activity. Scientific Conceptualism studies how concepts are born, how they change, and how they die. It's the science of how science thinks its own thoughts.
