begriffliche

Begriffliche is a German adjective deriving from Begriff (concept, notion) and the suffix -lich. It denotes something that pertains to concepts, conceptual content, or the realm of theory rather than to empirical or practical matter. In philosophical and theoretical writing it is used to distinguish aspects that concern the structure and use of concepts from other kinds of content or activity.
