چکیده
Conceptual engineering is the method for assessing and improving our concepts. Some have recently claimed that implementation of such in form ameliorative projects truth-driven should thus be epistemically constrained, ultimately at least (Simion, Mona. 2018b. “The ‘Should’ Engineering.” Inquiry: An Interdisciplinary Journal Philosophy 61 (8): 914–928; cf.

This paper challenges claim assumption a social constructionist analysis ideologies, provides an alternative, pragmatic cognitive framework determining legitimacy conceptual overall. The upshot one not ameliorate sake truth or knowledge, case ideologies – least, primarily.
