representamen

Definitions

A representation; a thing serving to represent something.

Examples

“The Leibnitzio-Wolfians distinguish three acts in the process⟳ of representative cognition: — 1° the act of representing a (mediate) object to the mind⟳; 2° the representation, or, to speak⟳ more properly, representamen, itself as an (immediate or vicarious) object exhibited to the mind⟳; 3° the act by which the mind⟳ is conscious, immediately of the representative object, and, through it, mediately of the remote object represented.”

“A sign⟳, or representamen, is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect⟳ or capacity.”
