| Main themes |
Explications of celebrated texts by founding fathers of contemporary logic and philosophy of language.
|
| Aims |
The course aims at providing students with tools that would
allow them to read, to interpret and to comment on philosophical texts of analytical style. At the end of the course they should in particular be able to understand what is at stake in the philosophical debates concerning logic and language and, if they wish it, to commence a research in this area. Moreover, they will be able to locate these texts in the overall context of philosophy.
|
| Evaluation methods |
The evaluation consists of two elements: general participation in class and an exam (50%) and write a text explanation about a text chosen in the analytical philosophy corpus (50%).
During the second session, the evaluation consists of the participation grade plus a new exam. If the participation grade has already been used or is absent, the evaluation will consists of the new exam + 5 review essays.
|
| Teaching methods |
This course will mostly consist in discussions around the studied texts. Students will be assigned to each text. Their role will be to present the context of the paper (in collaboration with the teacher) and to direct the discussion. The discussion will be structured based on the students' reactions to the text that will be sent to the assigned students before the class.
|
| Content |
The choice of texts will reflect the diversity of subjects and styles in analytical philosophy. The number of texts discussed will depend of the learning speed of the group but we envisage to read texts from Pouivet, Tarski, Russell, Quine, Lewis, Goodman and Kripke.
