| - | "In [[conceptual art]] the [[idea]] or [[concept]] is the most important aspect of the work. When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes a machine that makes the art." – [[Sol LeWitt]], "[[Paragraphs on Conceptual Art]]", ''[[Artforum]]'', June 1967. | + | |

| - | '''Concepts''' are defined as abstract ideas or general notions that occur in the mind, in speech, or in thought. They are understood to be the fundamental building blocks of [[thought]]s and [[belief]]s. They play an important role in all aspects of [[cognition]]. As such, concepts are studied by several disciplines, such as linguistics, psychology, and philosophy, and these disciplines are interested in the logical and psychological structure of concepts, and how they are put together to form thoughts and sentences. The study of concepts has served as an important flagship of an emerging interdisciplinary approach called cognitive science. | + | |
| - | In [[contemporary philosophy]], there are at least three prevailing ways to understand what a concept is: | + | {{redirect category shell|{{R from eponym}}{{R from adjective}}{{R printworthy}}}} |
| - | + | ||
| - | * Concepts as [[mental representation]]s, where concepts are entities that exist in the mind (mental objects) | + | |
| - | * Concepts as [[skill|abilities]], where concepts are abilities peculiar to cognitive agents (mental states) | + | |
| - | * Concepts as [[Fregean]] senses (see [[sense and reference]]), where concepts are [[abstract objects]], as opposed to mental objects and mental states | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Concepts can be organized into a hierarchy, higher levels of which are termed "superordinate" and lower levels termed "subordinate". Additionally, there is the "basic" or "middle" level at which people will most readily categorize a concept. For example, a basic-level concept would be "chair", with its superordinate, "furniture", and its subordinate, "easy chair". | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | A concept is [[instantiate#Verb|instantiated (reified)]] by all of its actual or potential instances, whether these are things in the real world or other [[idea]]s. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Concepts are studied as components of human cognition in the [[cognitive science]] disciplines of [[linguistics]], [[psychology]] and, [[philosophy]], where an ongoing debate asks whether all cognition must occur through concepts. Concepts are used as formal tools or models in [[mathematics]], [[computer science]], [[databases]] and [[artificial intelligence]] where they are sometimes called [[class (set theory)|classes]], [[database schema|schema]] or [[category (mathematics)|categories]]. In [[informal#Adjective|informal]] use the word ''concept'' often just means any [[idea]]. | + | |
