Leszek Nowak is rightly known as the pioneer of empirical concretization. As Giacomo Borbone notes, there is also a kind of conceptual concretization. This specific form of concept explication is illustrated by two transitions: from Bayesian conditionalization to Jeffrey conditionalization and from 'the straight rule' of learning from experience to Carnap's continuum of inductive methods. The paper closes with a schematic list of checkpoints for conceptual concretization in two rounds.

Carnapian learning from experience; concept explication; concretization; Jeffrey conditionalization; idealization; Leszek Nowak; Poznań School of Methodology; schematic recipe for explication.
