Abstract

The study explores the evolution of English abstract-philosophical vocabulary in the context of lexicographic description. The analysis focuses on how major English dictionaries have represented key philosophical terms such as being, reason, essence, and truth over time. The research aims to identify the semantic tendencies and conceptual shifts reflected in lexicographic definitions, revealing the dynamic interaction between language, thought, and philosophical tradition.
