Conceptual and linguistic analysis: A two-step program
Noûs 42 (2):267–291 (2008)
Abstract
This paper argues against both conceptual and linguistic analysis as sources of a priori knowledge. Whether such knowledge is possible turns on the nature of concepts. The paper's chief contention is that none of the main views about what concepts are can underwrite the possibility of such knowledge.Author's Profile
