Phil and others, I have found the following text on concepts and
generalizations very informative, if one reads it slowly more
than one time.

Davydov, V. V. (1990). Soviet studies in mathematics education,
Vol. 2, Types of generalization in instruction: Logical and
psychological problems in the structuring of school curricula.
Reston, VA: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.

This is a translation of Davydov' 1972 publication. I found
chapter 7, Basic Propositions in the Dialectical Materialist
Theory of Thougt very helpfu.
