Definition: Phigalian is a term used in the field of philosophy to describe an object or phenomenon that is both complex and abstract. It refers to something that is neither simple nor straightforward, but rather one that has a complexity beyond its apparent simplicity. Phigalians are often described as being "complex" because they are not easily understood or explained in terms of their simpler components. Phigalian objects can take on multiple forms, ranging from abstract concepts such as the concept of time and space to
what should be said.
