SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering: What? How? Why?
DESCRIPTION:Herman CappelenAbstract:&nbsp\;One important tradition in 20th 
 century  philosophy is engaged in a critical and constructive assessment o
 f our  representational devices.&nbsp\;This tradition goes back to Frege  
 (and before that Kant)\, the logical positivists\, and current  practition
 ers include writers as diverse as Sally Haslanger and  revisionists about 
 truth. In this talk I first provide a general  framework for thinking abou
 t that tradition and then try to answer a  fundamental objection to it.
