Worth noting though that pre-cog sci philosophy didn’t just take conceptual analysis for granted- there were plenty of dissenters. Also, as others have pointed out quite a bit of the history of philosophy consists of philosophers criticizing established conceptual analyses rather than trying to invent new ones.
Also worth noting that not all concepts are transparently finicky like ‘fish’ and ‘justice’. Also, quite possibly: species, mass, time, object etc.
