1. Philosophy / F. Analytic Philosophy / 4. Conceptual Analysis
Bad writers use shapeless floating splotches of concepts [Nietzsche]
     Full Idea: Bad writers have only shapeless floating splotches of concepts in their heads.
     From: Friedrich Nietzsche (Unpublished Notebooks 1885-86 [1886], 34[083])
     A reaction: Under 'conceptual analyis' not because he analyses concepts, but because he recognises their foundation importance in philosophy. I get more irritated by unchallenged concepts than by drifting concepts. Writer must know and challenge their key concepts.
