In this paper, I\u00a0address this question by bringing together two prominent authors in each of these two \u2018traditions\u2019: Michel\u00a0Foucault for genealogy, and Rudolf Carnap for conceptual engineering. I argue that Foucaultian genealogy is a\u00a0suitable approach to address a specific and important lacuna in Carnap\u2019s own articulation of explication,\u00a0namely the all-too-brief engagement with the preliminary stage of clarifying the explicandum. I start by\u00a0canvassing a number of commonalities between Carnap and Foucault, in particular the fact that they were\u00a0both heavily influenced by Kant and Nietzsche, and that they share a number of philosophical commitments\u00a0such as an anti-metaphysics stance and a deflationist meta-normative stance. I then discuss the clarification\u00a0lacuna in Carnapian explication, and argue that Foucaultian genealogy provides the right level of detail to\u00a0remedy this lacuna. I close with a brief discussion of a concrete example, the concept of marriage, and\u00a0conclude that this combination of Carnapian explication with Foucaultian genealogy is an illustration of the\u00a0relevance of historical analysis for conceptual engineering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; ***DRAFT AVAILABLE\u00a0HERE*** Abstract. \u2014\u00a0What is the relevance of historical investigations for projects of conceptual engineering?
