Conceptual Engineering and Conceptual Ethics
Conceptual engineering is a branch of philosophy that is concerned with assessing representational devices such as concepts and words. Conceptual engineers looks for the problems with such devices and attempt to come up with ways of improving flawed concepts: they attempt to say how those concepts should be. This is the first volume devoted entirely to the possibility, benefits, problems, and applications of conceptual engineering and conceptual …
On the relation between conceptual engineering and conceptual ethics
In recent years, there has been growing discussion amongst philosophers about “conceptual engineering”. Put roughly, conceptual engineering concerns the assessment and improvement of concepts, or of other devices we use in thought and talk (e.g., words). This often involves attempts to modify our existing concepts (or other representational devices), and/or our practices of using them. This paper explores the relation between conceptual engineeri…
Conceptual Engineering and Conceptual Ethics
Introduction
The main aim of this introductory chapter is to develop a detailed conception of metasemantics. The conception developed rests on a tripartite distin metaphysics of semantic values. Each project is discussed in turn. The presented conception of the metasemantics terrain is then used to help situate the various essays in the present collection relative to one another, and to the larger philosophical landscape.

Truth
This book is a concise introduction to current philosophical debates about truth. Combining philosophical and technical material, the book is organized around, but not limited to, the view known as deflationism. In clear language, the book covers a wide range of issues, including the nature of truth, the status of truth–value gaps, the relationship between truth and meaning, relativism and pluralism about truth, and semantic paradoxes from Alfred…
