From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. There are two prevailing theories in contemporary philosophy which attempt to explain the nature of concepts (abstract term: conception). The representational theory of mind proposes that concepts are mental representations, while the semantic theory of concepts (originating with Frege's distinction between concept and object) holds that they are abstract objects. Ideas are taken to be concepts, although abstract concepts do not necessarily appear to the mind as images as some ideas do. Many philosophers consider concepts to be a fundamental ontological category of being. A concept is a cognitive unit of meaning— an abstract idea or a mental symbol sometimes defined as a "unit of knowledge," built from other units which act as a concept's characteristics. A concept is typically associated with a corresponding representation in a language or symbology such as a word. The meaning of "concept" is explored in mainstream cognitive science, metaphysics, and philosophy of mind. The term "concept" is traced back to 1554–60 (l. conceptum - something conceived), but what is today termed "the classical theory of concepts" is the theory of Aristotle on the definition of terms.

Can someone explain to me in less than 100 words what the concept it. I don't want a copy and paste from the internet if I wanted to read I'd look it up thanks! Asked by Chelsea Meow - Wed Feb 11 18:42:35 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. Basically everyone (usually 4 players) has 13 cards each. Each round each player has to get rid of one card; the person whose card is the highest that round gets all four cards, which is bad. But only hearts count as points. Each heart you get gives you one point, and a queen of spades gives you 13 points. The game continues until someone gets a score over 100. The winner is the one with the lowest score. There are other rules, such as passing, shooting the moon, etc., but if you want to learn about those then I suggest you read the rules and play the game.
