Academic Year 2000/2001
Philosophical Classics IV: 20th-Century Analytic Philosophy
PHIL 204 SP
This course will study selected writings by the antispeculative, logic- and language-oriented thinkers who have shaped 20th-century Anglo-American philosophy--including Peirce, Frege, Moore, Russell, Wittgenstein,
Carnap, Quine, Ryle, and Austin.
MAJOR READINGS
Selections by Peirce, Frege, G. E. Moore, B. Russell, Wittgenstein, Carnap, C. L. Stevenson, Hempel, Quine, Ryle, Austin, Strawson, and Hare are normally included.
EXAMINATIONS AND ASSIGNMENTS
Probably about 6 to 8 precis on readings, occasional class reports, and one or two papers.
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS and/or COMMENTS
The prerequisites may be waived in certain cases by permission of instructor. A prior or concurrent course in logic, while not a prerequisite, would be very useful. Unless preregistered students attend the first class
meeting or communicate directly
with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
