Abstract

Based on Tabatabaei's theory and by the method of logical analysis, the present research has dealt with the methodology of defining conventional concepts and presented fifteen methodological rules. The method of defining these concepts is the method of conceptual analysis, and some of the presented rules are dedicated to the basics of definition, some to its types, and some to methods to discover the conceptual components of conventional concepts According to these methods, it is possible to discover the components of these concepts and use these components in the definition using the method of conceptual analysis. Of course, it should be noted that the most important component of a credit concept is its purpose, which must be used in any definition. The use of other components in the definition may vary according to each concept. It should be noted that in the normative definitions that are made with the intention of recommending, the conceptual components are not discovered but are established.
