aprimoramento, erotético, engenharia conceitual, conceitos, projetos de melhoriaResumen
Neste artigo, apresenta-se uma posição a que se chama de aprimoramento erotético, segundo a qual devemos avaliar e, eventualmente, aprimorar nossas respostas a perguntas da forma “O que é x?”. O foco será em casos em que x captura uma categoria fortemente social, como o casamento. Tal posição é oferecida enquanto alternativa à ideia — por vezes denominada engenharia conceitual — de acordo com a qual devemos avaliar e, eventualmente, buscar uma melhoria de nossos conceitos. Uma vez introduzida a ideia de aprimoramento erotético, será buscado mostrar como pode ser mobilizada para lidar com o que se chama de desafio da preservação de tópico, e que vantagens possui em relação a uma posição semelhante disponível na literatura, nomeadamente, o Quadro Austero, defendido por Cappelen (2018).
