A lektón (plural Lekta) is a Greek word which has acquired a specific meaning on philosophy. There are various views as to its precise definition. It is the neuter verbal adjective derived from the verb legein, to speak.[1] Roughly speaking it refers to "the meanings of our words".[1] However, a controversy has arisen over whether this means that Lekta are mind dependent, or form a rational structuring of the world independent of the mind.[2]
