At the very least, however, it is important to understand that the concept of the dog is philosophically separate from the things of the world. Class or extended concepts that can be synonymous with the same word are called absurd concepts and study of theoretical framework. Linguistics, philosophy, psychology, and sciences. Or treats it. It is as if its tangible or material existence is like this as a person a place or a thing it may represent the natural object that exists in the real world like a tree an animal a stone etc it may also name an artificial man-made object like a chair computer house. Abstract ideas and scientific domains such as freedom, equality, the joy of science, etc. are also symbols of his ideas.  is important to realize that a concept is merely a symbol a representation of the abstraction the word is not to be mistaken for the thing, for example, the word moon a concept is not a large bright shape-changing object up in the sky but only represents celestial object concepts are created named to scribe explain and capture reality as it is known and understood.
