1. Philosophy / F. Analytic Philosophy / 4. Conceptual Analysis
Examining concepts can recover information obtained through the senses [Jenkins]
     Full Idea: My idea is that conceptual examination might be a way of recovering information previously obtained through the senses.
     From: Carrie Jenkins (Grounding Concepts [2008], 4.8)
     A reaction: Now you're talking! This is really interesting conceptual analysis, rather than the sort of stamp-collecting approach to analsis practised by the duller sort of philosopher. But why bother with conceptual examination, when you have senses?
