idea

idea

An idea is the content of cognition, a perception in consciousness of an object, which is the main thing you are thinking about and is therefore often deemed a personal view. However, according to Plato an idea is a universal or eternally real object, while according to Hegel it is a synonym for the Absolute. In Platonism, an "idea" anticipates a "form."
