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.
