Abstract
In the present article, I try to study, analyze, and criticize some definitions of the concept of conceivability. In this relatively historical study, I have put particular importance on Descartes as the representative of definitions involving "conceiving". Then, I have discussed definitions involving "belief" and criticized them. After that, I have gone to definitions involving imaging (of a situation). In the conclusion, I have discussed definitions involving verification in the consistent, coherent, and possible worlds.
