Course Title:
History of Analytic Philosophy
Course Number:
W_BA_LOG
Course Description:
Since the beginning of the 20th century, a new tradition in philosophy
has emerged, which became known as analytic
philosophy. This tradition is variously characterized by its conceptual
rigor, tight argumentation, logical formalization, appeals to common
sense, and (as the name suggests) attention for analysis. We will study
the early development of this tradition in the first half of the 20th
century. A historical overview of the major developments will be given,
and we will read read primary texts by Frege, Russell, Moore,
Wittgenstein, and Stebbing.
