Resumo: (This article is part of a project by Trans/Form/Ação: Unesp Philosophy Journal. It is the Authorial Philosophy Dossier, to be published in 2022.) In this paper, I present a position that I call erotetic amelioration, according to which we must evaluate and, eventually, improve our answers to questions of the form “What is x?”. Such a position is offered as an alternative to the idea—sometimes called conceptual engineering—according to which we should evaluate and, eventually, seek to improve our concepts.

Trata-se do Dossiê Filosofia Autoral, a ser publicado em 2022.) Neste artigo, apresento uma posição a que chamo de aprimoramento erotético, segundo a qual devemos avaliar e, eventualmente, aprimorar nossas respostas a perguntas da forma “O que é x?”. Tal posição é oferecida enquanto alternativa à ideia—por vezes chamada de engenharia conceitual—segundo a qual devemos avaliar e, eventualmente, buscar uma melhoria de nossos conceitos.SciELO PreprintsSciELO PreprintsSciELO Preprints2021-12-03info:eu-repo/semantics/preprintinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/preprint/view/325710.1590/SciELOPreprints.3257porhttps://preprints.scielo.org/index.php/scielo/article/view/3257/5862Copyright (c) 2021 André J.
