This paper builds on an earlier paper, ‘In Defence of Thick Concepts’, in which it was denied that instantiations of a thick concept invoke a single attitudinal response, and always the same one. The no-priority view is that neither property nor attitude is conceptually prior; they interpenetrate each other, because the property is that of being such as to merit the response, and the attitude is to the object as meriting that response. This present paper suggests that the no-priority view will not generalise so as to cover all cases. This present paper also express doubts about the earlier appeal to Aristotelian domains. Finally, Williams's distinction between world-guided and action-guiding in examined, and it is suggested that instances of thick concepts have an intrinsic practical relevance which needs no further explanation.
