Abstract

The term Conceptual Analysis has a storied history in philosophy, in particular in the 20th Century.  I argue here for a specific application to electrotechnical terminology, ConcAn.  I suggest the necessity for ConcAn by considering a contemporary example from the IEC.  I then elucidate some principles of, and illustrate, ConcAn by means of a running example, the notion of reliability.  There are likely important principles still to discover.
