conceptual reflection
Concept analysis is a philosophical technique for specifying differences of meaning.
Concept analysis is the process of breaking up a complex conceptual or linguistic entity into its most basic semantic constituents. One assumption of conceptual analysis is that the meaning of a concept lies largely in its usage. For example, in comparing two related concepts such as secrecy and lying, a conceptual analyst might ask: In what ways is the concept of "secrecy" used in everyday life? And in what situations and circumstances is the concept "lying" used? Are there situations where these concepts are interchangeable? Getting at the most basic meanings of a concept is accomplished by tracing its usages in different settings and in different domains of life.
