摘要

概念工程通常被描述为评估和改进我们的表征设备的方法。然而,关于如何最好地解释这些代表性装置——换句话说,关于概念工程应该是什么——却很少有人说。本文用一种基本策略来解决这个问题:首先,通过对概念工程的不同可能主题进行分类;然后,通过比较评估,选择最有利的方法,使概念工程成为一种可操作的方法,即一种可以有效和一致地应用于具体案例研究的方法。其结果是,概念工程应该完全是关于概念的,否则就会产生实际的不一致。

What Should Conceptual Engineering Be All About?

Conceptual engineering is commonly characterized as the method for assessing and improving our representational devices. Little has been said, however, on how best to construe these representational devices-in other words, on what conceptual engineering should be all about. This paper tackles this problem with a basic strategy: First, by presenting a taxonomy of the different possible subject matters for conceptual engineering; then, by comparatively assessing them and selecting the most conducive one with a view to making conceptual engineering an actionable method, that is, a method that can be applied effectively and consistently to specific case studies. The outcome is that conceptual engineering should be all about concepts on pain of pragmatic inconsistencies otherwise.
