By the end of this course students will be familiar with key issues and debates in early analytic philosophy. They will have an understanding of how the major questions and problems in contemporary analytic philosophy developed from the background of the new logic and semantics developed by Frege and Russell, logical positivism, and ordinary language philosophy. They will have a robust ability to engage with issues in contemporary philosophy - especially metaphysics, epistemology, and the philosophy of mind and language - in an historically informed way.
