| - | An '''idea''' (Greek: ''ἰδέα, from eidon: I saw'') is an [[image]] existing or formed in the [[mind]]. The human capacity to contemplate ideas is associated with the capacity for [[reason]], [[human self-reflection|self-reflection]], and the ability to acquire and apply [[intellect]]. Ideas give rise to [[concepts]], which are the basis for any kind of [[knowledge]] whether [[science]] or [[philosophy]]. However, in a popular sense, an idea can arise even when there is no serious [[reflection]], for example, when we talk about the idea of a person or a place. | + | |
