This study explores the philosophical nature of the concept and challenges its traditional definition as the simplest form of thought. Critiquing the approach of A. J. Bucher, the author questions the application of the Aristotelian dichotomy of matter and form to the definition of conceptualization. The text argues that a concept cannot be precisely defined without the assistance of other concepts, suggesting that conceptual thinking is a holistic state or character of thought rather than a collection of isolated forms. A significant portion of the analysis is dedicated to the historical dimension of concepts, noting that they do not emerge spontaneously but are created by specific authors at particular points in history. The emergence of any concept is inherently linked to pre-existing structures, either by building upon them or by defining itself in opposition to them. Ultimately, the work demonstrates that understanding concepts requires a focus on their historical context and their systemic interconnectedness within the history of philosophy.
