One dimension of cognitive success is \;getting it right\, i.e gaining knowledge of facts. Another dimension of cognitive success is \;using the right concept\, i.e. framing a topic in the right way. This view\, if correct\, tasks inquirers with critically examining the concepts they are using and perhaps replacing those concepts with new and better ones. This task is often known as &ldquo\;conceptual engineering&rdquo\;.
\nThe idea that conceptual engineering is an important task for inquirers in and outside philosophy has recently gained traction. Some philosophers think conceptual engineering is an important task for inquirers to pursue. \; The conference is focused on foundational issues in connection with conceptual engineering. Topics to be addressed include the following:
\nThe planned conference will focus especially on the semantic foundations of conceptual engineering and push towards a better understanding of the process.
\nThe conference is organized collaboratively by members of NYU (Vera Flocke and David Chalmers) and members of the research project ConceptLab\, located at the University of Oslo (Herman Cappelen and Andrew Peet).
\nThe conference is funded by the New York Institute of Philosophy and ConceptLab.
