scientism comments on Conceptual Analysis and Moral Theory

[scientism]

I don’t think you’re arguing against conceptual analysis, instead you want to treat a particular conceptual analysis (reductive physicalism) as gospel. What is the claim that there are two definitions of sound that we can confuse, the acoustic vibrations in the air and the auditory experience in a brain, if it’s not a reductive conceptual analysis of the concept of sound?

Like I said at the beginning:

I won’t argue that everything that has ever been called ‘conceptual analysis’ is misguided. Instead, I’ll give examples of common kinds of conceptual analysis that corrupt discussions of morality and other subjects.
