Paper: Haslanger (2020), “How Not to Change the Subject” Abstract. — Concepts are not only useful for enabling individuals to have attitudes – perception, cognition, conation, emotion – but for groups to coordinate with each other. If we take seriously the coordinating function of concepts, then although in some cases it is important that concepts connect us…

Abstract. — Conceptual engineering (CE) is the area of philosophy dedicated to assessing and improving our representational devices. Experimental philosophy (XPhi) focuses on using techniques from experimental psychology and cognitive science to investigate traditional philosophical problems and methods. It has seemed to many that XPhi could play an important role in CE projects, and various… |

Abstract. — In this paper I argue that concepts fall into distinct kinds according to such things as their direction of determination, their modal range, and the nature of their referents. Such properties determine a given concept’s eligibility for genuine revision. As a result, different kinds of concepts require different treatment in the context of conceptual engineering. Understanding… |
