Words do not merely reflect the realities around us, they also help to shape what we see and structure our attitude towards it. In effect, language helps to create the world itself.

Under pressure from feminist and civil rights movements, attempts have been made to purge language of racist, sexist and other derogatory or disparaging implications. According to this view, language invariably reflects the power structure in society at large, and so discriminates in favour of dominant groups and against subordinate ones.

In its simplest sense, a concept is a general idea about something, usually expressed in a single word or a short phrase. A concept is more than a proper noun or the name of a thing. There is, for example, a difference between talking about a cat (a particular and unique cat) and having a general concept of a ‘cat’. The concept of a cat is not a ‘thing’ but an ‘idea’, an idea composed of the various attributes that give a cat its distinctive character: ‘a furry mammal’, ‘small’, ‘domesticated’, ‘catches mice’, and so on.
Concept formation is an essential step in the process of reasoning. Concepts are the ‘tools’ with which we think, criticize, argue, explain and analyse. Merely perceiving the external world does not in itself give us knowledge about it. In order to make sense of the world we must, in a sense, impose meaning upon it, and we do this through the construction of concepts. Quite simply, to treat a cat as a cat, we must first have a concept of what it is. Precisely the same applies to the process of political reasoning: we build up our knowledge of the political world not simply by looking at it, but by developing and refining concepts which help us make sense of it. Concepts, in that sense, are the building blocks of human knowledge.

Weber himself treated ‘authority’ and ‘bureaucracy’ as ideal types. The importance of recognizing particular concepts as ideal types is that it underlines the fact that concepts are only analytical tools. For this reason, it is better to think of concepts or ideal types not as being ‘true’ or ‘false’, but merely as more or less ‘useful’.

Fransız varoluşçu filozof Jean-paul Sartre insanların nasıl davranıp hareket edeceklerini belirleyen belli bir insan doğası olmadığını iddia etmektedir. Sartre'a göre varoluş özden önce gelir; buna göre insanlar kendi eylem ve fiilleriyle kendilerini tanımlama özgürlüğüne sahiptirler ve her türlü insan doğası kavramlaştirmasi bir anlamda bu özgürlüğe hakaret olacaktır.
Akılcılık, insanların kendi yaşam ve dünyalarını kurma kapasitelerine sahip olduklarını ima eder. Ancak akılla hareket eden ve açıkça özgür iradeye sahip insanlar kendi kaderlerini belirlerler: Insanlar olmak istediklerinden ibarettirler.
