what are the difference??

Hi! It's my first time posting a question.

Can anyone tell me the different meanings of "idea", "conception," and "concept"?

Hope I can get some replies Emotion: smile

"Conception" can mean the germinal aspect of something, or it's very beginning (like "inception"), or how it came to exist; but it's also used to mean the way person A looks at (or conceives [of] something, compared with the way person B looks at that same thing. Two conductors may have disparate conceptions of how a particular work should be performed. Two posters may have differing conceptions of the meaning of a sentence.

  • "Idea" has many uses in conversation.
  • " (an imaginative, inovative, and potentially valuble plan or design) I think of a "concept" as a unique way of interpreting natural phenomena (eg quantum theory) or a unique way of handling a problem (eg home schooling, four-wheel drive, geo-positioning, analog computing).
