PHIL 242 - Philosophy of Language

Type of Course: Lecture, Discussion
A philosophical examination of topics concerning the character and meaning of referring expressions and propositions.

Readings may include works by Frege, Russell, Strawson, Quine, Putnam, Kaplan, and Kripke (namely, his Naming and Necessity). Some background in logic is also very helpful though not strictly necessary.

Prerequisites: At least two previous courses in philosophy.
