PHIL242
- Philosophy of Language/Lecture, Discussion
A philosophical examination of topics concerning the character and meaning of referring expressions and propositions. We focuses on the nature of reference and meaning in the case of names and natural kind terms, and on the character of, and our grasp of, analytic and necessary truths. Readings include works by Frege, Russell, Quine, Putnam, Kaplan, and Kripke (namely, his Naming and Necessity). Prerequisite: It is strongly recommended that students have completed some previous coursework in philosophy. Some background in logic is also helpful though not necessary.
