Concrete (philosophy)

This article is about the philosophical term . For the construction material, see Concrete. For the comic book, see Concrete (comics).

In philosophy, a concept is considered concrete if it is not abstract: it must be both particular and an individual, and hence occupy both space and time. To say that a physical object is concrete is to say, approximately, that it is a particular individual that is located at a particular place and time.
