Ryle’s Conceptual Cartography
A Brief Introduction
Abstract
Conceptual Cartography is a style of philosophical investigation, named and championed by Gilbert Ryle and somewhat akin to, but independent from, Wittgenstein’s examination of ‘language games’ in Philosophical Investigations. This study examines the impetus for this method which includes difficulties with the traditional approaches to conceptual analysis initiated by Plato’s Socrates and encouraged by later work in formal logic.
