| Jun 16, 2017 at 23:52 | comment | added | Cdn_Dev | There are concepts, there are concepts that society at large will accept, and there are concepts that arise due to pre-eminent issues of the times. A concept alone isn't enough, it has to be palatable to people and not too far out of their experience to have utility value. For instance, in the early modern era good government was a pressing issue, so the world accepted it. So it's not so much 'how can I engineer society with my concepts', it's 'what concepts will society permit in their lives right now'. | |

| Nov 30, 2016 at 14:30 | comment | added | ironman | It sounds like you are saying the 'real world' is the majority of people's opinions on a subject, correct? Like when Socrates was discussing opinions in Platos Theaetetus, who's opinion is correct the majority or the one. Will a musicians opinion on a piece of music be more correct than a carpenter's, ect? Are both opinions correct? To changes one's opinion would be to educate the other to see the subject from a different point of view. I not sure that changing language would necessarily educate a person enough to change an opinion. Just my opinion :) | |

| Nov 17, 2016 at 22:26 | comment | added | Mr. Zed | Would you argue that any of these relate directly to how action/change is facilitated by conceptual change? | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 22:09 | comment | added | MmmHmm | Oh, and don't forget akrasia | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 22:00 | comment | added | MmmHmm | You might like this chapter on "How We Create Desire-independent Reasons For Action" and "The Construction of Social Reality" and "Ontology and Social Power" | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 20:49 | comment | added | Mr. Zed | @Mr.Kennedy I read the article. Very interesting. What I found most relevant was Searle's notion that governments, as systems of status functions, collapse when collective intentionality can no longer support them - the public withdraws acceptance of the system of status functions (p. 15-16). I am interested here in how such a change can occur - what is it that directly ties conceptual change to political change, here? Can you recommend anything else to review? | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 14:55 | comment | added | MmmHmm | status functions? | |
| Nov 17, 2016 at 14:48 | comment | added | Mr. Zed | @Mr.Kennedy I suppose that could play a role! I more so want to look at what ways, if any, social developments can enable (and be affected by) projects in conceptual engineering. | |
