A list for the well addressed concept

I'm going to make a list of what seem to be key ideas related to the concept of the concept. laid out by Filles Deleuze and Feliz Guattari (D&G for short) in What is Philosophy?

A concept:

  • is created by problems thought to be badly understood or posed (16)
  • relates back to other concepts and has components that in turn may be concepts (19)
  • speaks the event, not the the essence or thing (21)
  • is not a proposition, as in logic (22)
  • have a proper name, these proper names are intrinsic conceptual persona that haunt a particular plane of consistency (24)
  • are not a question of right or wrong; concepts are replaced if a new problem with a new plane are defined. the "old concept" is not wrong, but it no longer has meaning (27)
  • lacks meaning to the extent not connected to other concepts and not linked to a problem that it resolves or helps to resolve (79)
