PHI 3347 Analytic Tradition

What unifies recent styles of Anglo-American philosophy? One common (though controversial) answer is that they aspire to attain with regard to perennial philosophical problems the clarity and precision that characterize contemporary logic. This course offers a broad survey of the tradition of analytic philosophy, ranging from its origins in figures such as Russell and Wittgenstein to some ongoing debates in metaphysics, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, epistemology, ethics, and metaethics.
