PHIL-416 Wittgenstein

A broad study of themes through Wittgenstein’s work, including the picture-theory, naming, rule-following, meaning, skepticism, and truth. While our focus will be on Wittgenstein’s work, we will also spend time on his intellectual forebears and those he influenced, including Frege, Russell, Anscombe, Quine, Kripke, and Diamond.
