23652	We must first conceive things before we can consider them [Reid]
	Full Idea: No man can consider a thing which he does not conceive.
	From: Thomas Reid (Essays on Intellectual Powers 5: Abstraction [1785], 6)
	A reaction: This seems to imply concepts, but we should not take this to be linguistic, since animals obviously consider things and make judgements.
