Engineering new concepts for the modern times

The words you speak and the thoughts you think are inherited from an often foolish past. But what if our concepts of truth, gender, and justice are fundamentally broken? This groundbreaking book introduces conceptual engineering, the radical art of assessing and improving our mental tools. Leading thinkers challenge us to stop accepting language as a gift and start actively crafting it to better reflect reality, fight injustice, and reshape what it means to be human.
