Evolution and success shape us to be responsive to the real causal kinds that things fall into. While conceptualists are right to stress the contingent shape of our minds, they are wrong to forget that those minds do not exist in a vacuum. Our minds are naturally shaped by the causal structures of the world we inhabit. In favourable circumstances, we all ‘go on in the same way’ because, in the context of the world, that is the right way to go on.
