Supervisor Prof. Menachem Fisch

Nevo Spiegel is a PhD candidate in the philosophy of language, working on methods for improving concepts by changing their meaning. This is a novel field known as “conceptual engineering,” which uses insights and tools from various areas in philosophy to assess and improve essentially contested concepts, which are concepts with no consensus on their proper use or meaning. He aims to develop a theory for refining these concepts in public discourse by treating them as collections of shared social practices and improving them through a process of careful analysis and reinterpretation.

He currently resides in his native city, Haifa. With experience teaching law at various high schools, Nevo is committed to making quality education available for all.
