Three different notions of concepts are discussed: Frege’s notion of Begriffe , Leibniz’s notion in his calculus of concepts, and Frege’s notion of sense. Each notion of a concept is formally analysed within the theory of abstract objects. The resulting analysis unifies the three different notions of concepts.
