Analytic Philosophy

This course is an introduction to Analytic Philosophy and its history. This tradition or “style of thinking” is strongly associated with Anglo-American Philosophy, although it is widely practiced all through the world, as in Germany, Canada, Québec, Spain, South America, Eastern Europe, the Middle-East, India, Pakistan and China, Oceania and Africa.

We will focus on some of the main figures of the history of this movement, such as Frege, Russell, Moore, Wittgenstein, Carnap, Quine and Davidson. We will also encounter other figures in philosophy of science and political philosophy.
