Ideal Language Philosophy of Science —Summary—

Ideal language philosophy has often been pragmatically defended as being more suc-cessful than non-linguistic and ordinary language philosophy in solving or dissolving philosophical problems. I defend ideal language philosophy of science pragmatically as being more successful than its competitors in solving metaphilosophical problems. Specifically, I argue that the relation to science is clearer for ideal language philosophy than for non-linguistic philosophy and ideal language philosophy’s contribution to the sci-ences is clearer than the contributions of ordinary language and experimental philosophy.
