Applied Conceptual Engineering

Herausgegeben: Isaac, Manuel Gustavo; Koch, Steffen; Scharp, Kevin

Beschreibung

This book explores innovative applications of conceptual engineering to specific case studies beyond philosophy. Conceptual engineering is described a method for reframing philosophy as a problem-solving method of direct relevance for, and bearing on, areas of practical concern. Based on lectures at the Conceptual Engineering Online Seminar 2020/2022 by leading philosophers, it opens new perspectives on a wide array of topics in relation to issues of high scientific, social, and political significance. This book is a must-read for professional philosophers, experts in metaphilosophy or those interested in applying the methods of conceptual engineering to issues in their own areas of specialization. It is also of great interest to philosophy students, eager to get acquainted with the most exciting and dynamic methodological developments of their discipline.
