core核心畫面

Picture a single clear idea you hold in your head about what something is, or about how something ought to work — the mental 'shape' of a thing. 'Concept' can be thought of as that thought you can point to and discuss: the concept of time, the concept behind a new product. The word has only one sense, so the whole word rests on this one picture.

可以想成你腦中對「某樣東西是什麼」或「某件事該怎麼運作」所抓住的一個清楚想法——一個東西在心裡的「輪廓」。concept 可以想成這個你能指著、能拿來討論的念頭:時間的概念、一個新產品背後的構想。這個字只有一個意思,所以整個字就靠這一個畫面。

    • Frege's concepts are very nearly propositional functions in the modern sense. Frege explicitly recognizes them as functions. Like Peirce's rhema, a concept is unsaturated. They are in some sense incomplete. Although Frege never gets beyond the metaphorical in his description of the incompleteness of concepts and other functions, one thing is clear: the distinction between objects and functions is the main division in his metaphysics. There is something special about functions that makes them very different from objects.
