Exploring Conceptual Engineering and its Role in Defining Justice
Conceptual engineering involves examining the concept of justice to determine its functions and how it can be tailored to serve different purposes effectively. Unlike traditional philosophy focused on describing the nature of concepts like justice, conceptual engineers aim to redefine or adapt the concept to better suit its intended use. Through conceptual engineering, philosophers seek to answer questions on when justice is present, how to capture its various aspects, and what principles define it. The approach considers the practical applications of justice and how its definition can be optimized to serve specific needs, thus emphasizing the importance of tailoring concepts to meet their intended functions.
