Artificial language philosophy of science Sebastian Lutz

Abstract

 Artificial language philosophy (also called ‘ideal language philosophy’)
is the position that philosophical problems are best solved or dissolved
through a reform of language. Its underlying methodology—the development
of languages for specific purposes—leads to a conventionalist view of language
in general and of concepts in particular. I argue that many philosophical
practices can be reinterpreted as applications of artificial language philosophy.
In addition, many factually occurring interrelations between the sciences and
philosophy of science are justified and clarified by the assumption of an
artificial language methodology.
