In [[logic]], '''extensional and intensional definitions''' are two key ways in which the [[Object (philosophy)|objects]], [[concept]]s, or [[referent]]s a [[terminology|term]] refers to can be [[definition|defined]]. They give [[Meaning (linguistic)|meaning]] or denotation to a term.
An intensional definition gives meaning to a term by specifying necessary and sufficient conditions for when the term should be used.
An extensional definition gives meaning to a term by specifying every [[object (philosophy)|object]] that falls under the definition of the term in question.
