EARLY ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHY

Catalog description

This course focuses on the foundations of the Analytic tradition (from 1879 to 1930). During this period, central figures such as Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, G.E. Moore, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Frank Ramsey aimed to bring clarity and precision to a wide range of philosophical problems by focusing on fundamental issues in the philosophy of logic and the philosophy of language. Understanding the developments of this period is essential to understanding the development of philosophy in the 20th and 21st centuries.
