In 2006\, the International Astronomical Union revised the concept PLANET so that it excluded Pluto\, and insisting that the result was an improvement. But what could it mean for one concept or conceptual scheme to be better than another? Here we draw on the theory of epistemic utility to address this question. We show how the plausibility and informativeness of beliefs\, two features that contribute to their utility\, have direct correlates in our concepts. These are how inclusive a concept is\, or how many objects in an environment it applies to\, and how homogeneous it is\, or how similar the objects that fall under the concept are. We provide ways of measuring these values\, and argue that in combination they can provide us with a single principle of concept utility. We use this measure to account for concept constitution\, and to rationalize cases of concept-revision. \n\nZoom meeting ID: 857 3025 53 80\nZoom password: ACEW20 (Invite link) URL:/philevents/event/conceptual-engineering-seminar-tba-4/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58Թ\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Conceptual Engineering Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201008T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201008T120000 DTSTAMP:20201008T221645Z CREATED:20200710T160942Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201008T221645Z UID:10001014-1602151200-1602158400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Super Special Seminar tba DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/super-special-seminar-tba-8/ LOCATION:A virtual seminar by Zoom\, The University\, 58Թ\, KY16 9L\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Super Special Seminar series END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20201008T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20201008T180000 DTSTAMP:20201008T221646Z CREATED:20200710T160942Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201008T221646Z UID:10001015-1602172800-1602180000@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Epistemology Seminar (joint with CEPPA!).
