Conception

From Hobson's Choice

In the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, a conception refers specifically to the descriptive attributes of an intuition. For example, one may have an intuition of a house; but an actual house may be, for example, a single family dwelling with two stories, shingle siding, and white trim. "Single family dwelling," "having two stories," "having shingle siding," and "having white trim" are all conceptions.
