On Conceptual Analysis and Educational Research: A Response to John Wilson.

Bridges, David

Cambridge Journal of Education, v28 n2 p239-41 Jun 1998

Responds to John Wilson's article "Philosophy and Education Research: A Reply to David Bridges et al." Discusses three observations: (1) different recollections of the pretensions attached to conceptual analysis; (2) the supposition of establishing meaning of a word without a theory of meaning; and (3) rhetorical and persuasive functions of language are omnipresent.
