The concept water and the concept H2O happen to pick out the same property, but this agreement is determined partially by the world.
Meanwhile, as an abstract concept, water resources carrying capacity has been transformed into specific and calculable index.
When Thales choses water as the "the principle and substance of all that is" (LHP I: 175) he has abstracted the concept water from the stuff immediately encountered in puddles and so on.
In concept water quality trading programs can create incentives for agricultural operators to supply low cost pollutant reductions while still keeping land in agricultural production.
To operationalize this concept, water is viewed as an economic good and a finite resource that should be valued and managed in a rational manner.
In this concept, water is used as the coolant, and the buoyancy force caused by the density difference between vapour and liquid when operated above boiling temperate is utilized to circulate the coolant between the stack and the cooling device.
On the standard view, the content of a token indexical concept is constituted by or essentially tied to the actual referent, much as the content of the concept water is constituted by or essentially tied to the actual referent in the environment (at least according to content-externalism about natural-kind concepts).
A pot and water are designated as conventionally existent therefore conventionally real for the concept "pot" ceases to exist when it is destroyed physically, and the concept "water" no longer arises when we conceptually exclude from it its shape, colour etc.
In principle, the nature of properties like being true whether homomorphism, superassertibility, coherence, etc.—may outstrip the concept thereof, just as the nature of properties like being water such as H2O, H3O, XYZ, etc.—may outstrip the concept WATER (see, e.g., Wright 1996, 2001; Alston 2002; Lynch 2001, 2005c, 2006).
"Not only in concept, water also plays a central role in the production of the album, featuring hydrophone-recorded samples that help shape their 'imaginary world made of water.'" .
The category water corresponds to the alternative concept water as source, and the category in/organic substance often corresponds to the alternative concept nutrients from the soil.
