SUMMARY:Pragmatic Genealogy as Conceptual Reverse-Engineering

DESCRIPTION:<p>Though conceptual engineering is a forward-looking enterprise\, the thought has been gaining traction that it should be guided by a prior understanding of the functions or points our concepts serve. In this talk\, I explore some of the motivations for this&nbsp\;backward-looking enterprise of conceptual reverse-engineering. I then argue that there is an under-appreciated tradition which offers a methodologically controlled way of doing conceptual reverse-engineering: the tradition of pragmatic genealogy. I develop&nbsp\;an interpretation of pragmatic genealogy which makes sense of the seemingly incongruous way in which it combines state-of-nature fictions with real history.</p>
