| Basic Concept: theories differ in what terms they choose as the basic concepts, which are not further defined. A definition of these concepts within the theory would be circular and may cause > paradoxes. E.g. The theory of mind by G. Ryle is based on the concept of disposition, other theories presuppose mental objects. See also paradoxes, theories, terms, definitions, definability, systems, explanations._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them. Instead, they are intended to give a short introduction to the contributions below. – Lexicon of Arguments. | |||

David Hilbert on Basic Concepts - Dictionary of Arguments
Berka I 59 Axioms/Logic/Berka: for methodological reasons, systems with at least two basic concepts are preferred (e.g. the pairs of functors N C, A N, or K N). In general, one uses the one by Hilbert and Bernays (1934)(1) today, with five basic concepts. N.B.: because of the 5 basic concepts it works without definitions. I.
