ideas

In common usage and in philosophy, ideas are the results of thought. Also in philosophy, ideas can also be mental representational images of some object. Many philosophers have considered ideas to be a fundamental ontological category of being. The capacity to create and understand the meaning of ideas is considered to be an essential and defining feature of human beings. In a popular sense, an idea arises in a reflexive, spontaneous manner, even without thinking or serious reflection, for example, when we talk about the idea of a person or a place. A new or an original idea can often lead to innovation.
Ideas embody the prototypes of objects and concepts of reality, driving civilization and governing the institutions of social life support, culture, spirituality, ideas carry a semantic weight, thus filling and motivating the purpose of the personality's existence with a special meaning.
