Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to propose an alternative way for the study of concepts. lt is argued that concepts are societally determined structures of knowledge and that it is these structures - and not , things' - that are represented by words. An analysis of legal, economic and scientific concepts reveals that concepts, albeit being mental entities, can in fact be reconstructed via the societal purposes to which they owe their existence.
