Concept auditing is based on an innovative premise for
philosophers: when they address an everyday life conception on the
order of knowledge, truth, justice, fairness, beauty, or the like
and purport to be dealing with what it involves, then they must
honor the existing meanings of these terms. And insofar as the
prevailing meaning is being contravened, they must explain how and
justify why this is being done. They must, in sum, explain how
their treatment of a topic relates to our established
pre-systematic understanding of the issues involved and relate
their deliberations to the prevailing conception of the matter they
are proposing to discuss. The aim of a concept audit is to consider
to what extent a given philosophical discussion honors this
communicative obligation. Concept Audits sets out not only to
explain and defend this procedure, but also to consider a host of
applications and exemplifications of these ideas. Nicholas Rescher
shows how this method of conceptual auditing can function to
elucidate and evaluate philosophical theses and doctrine across a
wide spectrum of issues, ranging from logic to ethics and
metaphysics. Accordingly, he explains and illustrates an
instructive innovation in philosophical method. This new study of
philosophical methodology presents its method in a clear and
convincing way and shows the method at work with respect to a wide
spectrum of important philosophical issues.
