表象,指人類活在這個世界上,所察覺到的一切事物所組合而成的形體。表象是我們賦與生活圍遭的環境一種具體化的意象。對於只依感覺來描述的抽象概念,則隱藏在表象中,不被我們所見。哲學上常以表象世界為對象,開創出與之對立的精神理念。

中國也是個例子。戰國時代韓非解釋中國「象」字之所以代表事物的外形,因為當時人們已不容易親見活生生的象,只能按其圖想像模樣,所以凡意想事物,都叫做象。當人們發現象竟是「獸之最大者」,更借其比喻包容於天地間犖犖大者如山川日月的種種外形,最後經轉訓為事物的表象。
In the Warring States Period, Han Fei, a famous scholar, explained how the word xiang (象), which means "elephant; image; external appearance" came to acquire the meaning of "external appearance." According to Han Fei, at that time, seeing an elephant with one's own eyes was already a rarity; it was only from pictures that one could know what an elephant looked like. For this reason, any thing that one thought about or imagined was called xiang. When people realized that elephants were the largest beast living on the land, the metaphor was extended to include the evident instances of things, such as the appearance of mountains, rivers, the sun and the moon. After more twists and turns, the word came to mean "the external appearance of things."
