  • This critical notice assesses Matthieu Queloz’s The Ethics of Conceptualization, highlighting its compelling pragmatist account of concepts as tools shaped by human needs. It argues, however, that Queloz’s reasons for concept use do not constitute a fundamentally new kind of normative reason but instead recast familiar questions about normative authority at the conceptual level.

  • The aim of this article is to develop an understanding-based argument for an explicitly political specification of the concept of race. It is argued that a specification of race in terms of hierarchical social positions is best equipped to guide causal reasoning about racial inequality in the public sphere. Furthermore, the article provides evidence that biological and cultural specifications of race mislead public reasoning by encouraging confusions between correlates and causes of racial inequality. The article concludes with a more general case for incorporating empirical evidence about public reasoning into philosophical debates about competing specifications of the concept of race.
