Beyond Representation
What is conceptual engineering about? In this paper, I defend the superiority of the pragmatist account of concepts over the two main contenders in the field – the representationalist account and the psychological account. I evaluate the different contenders with respect to their ability to make sense of the practice of conceptual engineering along two dimensions. First, the feasibility of conceptual engineering. If conceptual engineering is (alm…
“What shall I say now?” A normative-inferentialist account of open texture
Inquiry into the unfamiliar
Zetetic epistemology has been too narrowly focused on a limited class of inquiries, which has led to incorrect conclusions about inquiry in general. In this paper, I defend an activity-centered account of inquiry designed to accommodate a wider variety of inquiries.

The question regarding the relations between pragmatism and objectivity, or pragmatism and realism, has animated pragmatists and its critics alike since the beginnings of the movement. Pragmatists have been accused of all the bad -isms of philosophy: subjectivism, idealism, relativism, irrationalism,…
Joëlle Zask, La Démocratie aux Champs
In her book La Dmocratie aux Champs, French philosopher Jolle Zask wishes to overturn the longstanding prejudice according to which democratic ideals essentially grow out of and thrive in big cities, and are antithetical to agricultural life. Whether in 19th century Europe or in contemporary United States, peasants are widely seen as conservative, bigoted and apolitical, while urban residents typically represent a more progressive and politically…
