Lovitt: VORSTELLUNG - CONCEPTION

"Conception" here translates the noun   Vorstellung  . Elsewhere in this volume, Vorstellung will usually be translated by "representation," and its related verb vorstellen by "to represent." Both "conception" and "representation" should suggest a placing or setting-up-before. Cf. the discussion of Vorstellung in The Age of the World Picture (QCT   p. 131-132).
