Syllabus
Continental Philosophy of Language and Mind:
An Introduction to Aristotle, Kant, Frege and Husserl.
Graduate course, open also for advanced undergraduates
The idea of this course is to give an introduction to the philosophy of
language and mind, less in the analytic, but more in the continental
traditions. This is therefore an unusual course. We will read classical
texts and stay close to them, sometimes following the text word by word.
From Aristotle, we will read On Interpretation, a short essay on the nature
of language, words, sentences, meaning, contradictions, and dialectic.
From Kant we will read parts of the Critique of pure Reason, the so-called
“Deduction of the Categories”, which is about perception, thought, judgment,
and consciousness. We are doing fine to read and to learn from these
two philosophers. They are classics. From there we will follow Frege and
Husserl, who developed their views at the same time, but in very different
directions. While Frege is now seen as the father of analytic philosophy,
Husserl developed phenomenology. These two thinkers had quite different
ideas about meaning, thought, and how one should go about studying
them. They used and developed different methods. From Frege, we will
read his essays The Thought and Sense and Reference, and the beginning
of his Begriffsschrift. Husserl’s views are broader. He thought about
how we perceive and develop an understanding of the world. He was concerned
with subjectivity, time, and consciousness. We will read from his Logical
Investigations, Ideas, and Experience and Judgment. This will carry us
into the spring semester, during which I intend to continue this course
with Husserl again, Heidegger and Wittgenstein, all on meaning, language,
and mind.
