*** *CONCEPTUAL ENGINEERING *focuses on how best to assess and improve our conceptual apparatuses. In less than half a decade, it has become a central topic of contemporary analytic philosophy. Current work in conceptual engineering goes in two main directions: Case study research, on the one hand, which focuses on specific concepts and then advocates for specific improvement; metaphilosophical research, on the other hand, which explicitly focuses on conceptual engineering qua philosophical method and deals, for instance, with issues related to its theoretical foundations. The ACE Conference takes the next step: It bridges the gap between these two trends of research in conceptual engineering and focuses on how conceptual engineering actually works. Thereby, it aims to contribute to turning conceptual engineering into a form of applied philosophy that has a direct bearing on areas of practical concern. *INVITED SPEAKERS* • Herman Cappelen (Hong Kong University) • Nancy Cartwright (Durham University) • Catarina Dutilh Novaes (VU Amsterdam/University of St Andrews) • Manuel Gustavo Isaac (Swiss NSF/University of St Andrews) • Édouard Machery (University of Pittsburgh) • Michela Massimi (University of Edinburgh) • Kevin Scharp (University of St Andrews) • Nicholas Shea (University of London) *WEB INFO* Webpage (w/ titles and abstracts): https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/arche/event/ace/ YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2KmatAi964jqA6gTSm7wbQ PhilEvents: https://philevents.org/event/show/89550 Facebook event: https://fb.me/e/3qI4sJqjE *ZOOM DETAILS* Meeting ID: 875 2607 3825 Password: ACE21 (Invite link <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87526073825?pwd=bU5uWUZiWTdFL0t1UjJqcHBwNU4zZz09> ) *ORGANIZERS* Manuel Gustavo Isaac and Kevin Scharp – for more info, contact [email protected]. -- *Dr. Manuel Gustavo ISAAC (BA, MA, PhD)* *SWISS NSF POSTDOC.MOBILITY FELLOW (SNSF-PM2018) <https://www.manuelgustavoisaac.xyz>* *ARCHÉ PHILOSOPHICAL RESEARCH CENTRE <https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/arche/staff/manuel-gustavo-isaac/>* *University of St Andrews* Department of Philosophy Edgecliffe The Scores St Andrews Fife KY16 9AL Website: manuelgustavoisaac.xyz LinkedIn: manuel-gustavo-isaac-238b7055 <https://ch.linkedin.com/in/manuel-gustavo-isaac-238b7055> Academia.edu: ManuelGustavoIsaac <https://snf.academia.edu/ManuelGustavoIsaac> PhilPeople: manuel-gustavo-isaac <https://philpeople.org/profiles/manuel-gustavo-isaac> ORCID.org: 0000-0002-5479-5027 <http://orcid.org/0000-0002-5479-5027> Twitter: @mgIS44C <https://twitter.com/mgIS44C> -- https://www.vidal-rosset.net/mailing_list_educasupphilo.html
