This 4-week (10-11 lectures, 1 hour 30 minutes each) course introduces the foundational figures of early analytic philosophy: Gottlob Frege, G.E. Moore, Bertrand Russell, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Through key texts, including Frege’s On Sense and Reference, Moore’s Principia Ethica, Russell’s On Denoting, and Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, Philosophical Investigations, and On Certainty, students will explore logic, language, metaphysics, and epistemology. The course begins with the historical context of analytic philosophy and concludes with participant presentations. Through lectures, discussions, and text analysis, students will trace the movement’s development and impact. No prior knowledge is required, only a dedication to learning contemporary Western philosophy.
