The phrase was used by the American philosopher/psychologist William James. The idea is that without the ability to conceptualise or categorize, our experience (raw sense impressions) would be, as James said a baby's is, a "blooming, buzzing confusion". We begin to make sense of our experience when we bring order to it by acquiring general concepts. Question is: are they all acquired socially, from people around us, or are some innate?
THANK YOU :D !!!
