Title: Conceptual Engineering: For and Against<\/em><\/p>\n

Abstract: Conceptual Engineering is the view that many, or even most, philosophical concepts are broken and are in need of repair or replacement. On such a view, we should not simply be asking: What is our concept of X? Rather, we should (also) be asking: What should our concept of X be? In this talk I look at some of the arguments for and against Conceptual Engineering. Without mincing words, the main news will be that “Conceptual Engineering” is a bad name for a bad idea. An alternative to Conceptual Engineering will be briefly sketched.\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n
