Expanded Course Description
In this course you will learn about the conceptual history and philosophical significance of numerous developments in the tradition of analytic philosophy. Analytic philosophy offers a unique perspective on a wide range of philosophical topics from epistemology and metaphysics to ethics and metaethics. This course will focus primarily, although not exclusively, on the core areas of analytic philosophy as it developed across the twentieth century and continues to develop today. These core areas include the philosophy of language (focused on such issues as meaning, truth, and references), epistemology (focused on questions of how we know and how we justify our knowledge), and metaphysics (focused on such notions as necessity and causation as well as the very viability of metaphysics). In addition to readings focused on central debates in these core areas of analytic philosophy, this course will attempt to convey some of the primary commitments and values that underlie much of analytic of philosophy (including such values as clarity, rigor, and truth).
