Suppose you could change people's way of thinking about the world at its very roots, by changing the very concepts by means of which they think. Suppose, further, that this would make the world a better place; that would be quite something. Knowledge and Conceptual Engineering is a comprehensive and systematic study of the nature and normativity of conceptual engineering. This book comprehensively deals with all the central questions in the field: the very possibility of conceptual engineering, its success conditions, the epistemic and moral permissibility of conceptual engineering, the nature of conceptual ignorance and conceptual understanding, and duties to engage in conceptual engineering. It also considers the political aspects, such as engineering social kind concepts, the nature of hermeneutical injustice, and conceptual disinformation. Mona Simion and Christoph Kelp develop a systemic and unified framework centred on conceptual functions, and espouse a functionalist approach that is wholeheartedly optimistic, in that it takes conceptual engineering to be something that we can and should do.

Mona Simion is Professor of Philosophy and Michael Cohen Fellow of the Exeter College at the University of Oxford. Her research focuses on epistemology, philosophy of language, and moral and political philosophy. She is the author of Knowledge-First Epistemology: A Defence (CUP 2025), Resistance to Evidence (CUP, 2024), Shifty Speech and Independent Thought (OUP, 2021), and Sharing Knowledge (CUP, 2021, with Christoph Kelp), and co-editor of Reasons, Justification, and Defeat (OUP, 2021, with Jessica Brown). She is the Mind Fellow 2018 and the winner of the Young Epistemologist Prize 2021. She has led major research projects funded by the European Research Council and the Leverhulme Trust. Christoph Kelp is Professor of Philosophy and Co-Director of the Cogito Epistemology Research Centre at the University of Glasgow. His work is in epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of science, and ethics. He is the author of The Nature and Normativity of Defeat (CUP 2023), Inquiry, Knowledge, and Understanding (OUP 2021), Sharing Knowledge (CUP 2021, with Mona Simion), and Good Thinking (Routledge 2018), and co-editor of Virtue Theoretic Epistemology (CUP 2020 with John Greco).
