Kolejny odczyt w ramach seminarium ZJR/The Next SLR Seminar Meeting (19 II 2026, online)
Kolejny odczyt seminarium ZJR odbędzie się:
Czwartek, 19 lutego 2026, 17.00
Piotr Stalmaszczyk
(Uniwersytet Łódzki)
wygłosi odczyt:
Conceptual Engineering, Semiotics and Metalinguistics
Abstrakt:
Conceptual Engineering (CE) is a dynamically developing field of philosophy (especially analytic). It aims at evaluation, analyzing, reanalyzing, and redefining of concepts and their relations with the world and language. Work in CE is of considerable interest not only for philosophers, but also linguists and researchers within ethics, social sciences and AI. This talk will consider some important terminological issues connected with defining CE, it will also discuss CE as a possible paradigm (in the sense introduced by Kuhn), and as an example of yet another linguistic turn in philosophy (in the sense popularized by Rorty).
