Enumerative definition
open-in-new
<p>An enumerative definition of a concept or term is a special type of <a href="/facts/Extensional_definition/aPuPQbVC">extensional definition</a> that gives an explicit and exhaustive listing of all the <a href="/facts/Object_(philosophy)/rf48DMvm">objects</a> that fall under the concept or term in question. Enumerative definitions are only possible for finite sets and only practical for relatively small sets. </p>
