What are we doing when we conceptualize?

Question: What are we doing when we conceptualize!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I am sure exactly what you mean by conceptualization!. Either you mean what we are doing by forming "concepts" or you mean more of a big picture on how we conceptualize a problem!. Assuming you mean the former, concepts, meaning universals, have been a debate in philosophy for thousands of years!. I hold to more of an Aristotelian theory of universals, meaning I hold that concepts exist in our minds and are an average of similarities between things!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
