    Conceptual Engineering is an approach to assess the concepts we use in language and implement revisions to the defective concepts. According to Wittgenstein’s view in the Philosophical Investigations, although some concepts have blurred boundaries and their definitions lack exactness, they are not necessarily defective. This view of Wittgenstein may seem to contradict the central idea of conceptual engineering. In this paper, by examining Wittgenstein’s view in comparison with Waismann’s open texture argument, Carnap’s explication thesis, and the theory of conceptual engineering, I argue that although Wittgenstein does not consider the inexactness of concept as a defect, as he is concerned with whether a concept serves our goals, he would accept the idea to engineer concepts when they malfunction in serving specific goals. Moreover, I demonstrate that Wittgenstein’s observation that mathematicians introduce changes to mathematical concepts when convinced by proof provides insights into the practice of applying conceptual engineering to mathematics.
