Phenomena and Concepts | We will now study concepts and phenomena, in order to get inspiration
and guidance to our understanding of classes and objects. |
| These are the definitions of 'phenomenon' and 'concept'. I have taken these
from the PhD thesis of Jørgen Lindskov Knudsen and Kristine Stougaard Thomsen, Aarhus University.
The thesis was published in the mid eighties. |
|
| A concept is characterized by its name, its intension (= characteristic properties), and its extension (= the phenomena covered by the concept). Please pay attention to these words! |
