Introduction to Analytic Philosophy
Introduction to Analytic Philosophy
By the end of this course, you will understand what analysis is and how to practice it in a philosophical way. Moreover, you will be able to talk confidently about some of the great ideas of such philosophers as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Bertrand Russell, George Moore, Alfred Ayer, John Austin, Willard Van Orman Quine, Peter Strawson, and others.
The course is divided into eight sections. The first one introduces how to learn this course. Do not forget to download the textbook A Brief Introduction to Analytic Philosophy, which is attached to the first section. It is free for those enrolled in this course. The second section explains the characteristic features of analysis and analytic philosophy. Then, we learn about the thoughts of early analysts and the doctrines of different phases in the development of analytic philosophy, such as logical atomism, logical positivism, linguistic philosophy, and late-twentieth-century analytic philosophy. The last section is a summary of the course.
For each section of the course, I have recorded a short lecture that you can watch at your own pace. Also, sections 2 to 7 include educational videos that may help you remember the key points of the respective sections.
There will also be three assigned readings, which I highly recommend you complete because you will get a lot more out of the course and lectures if you read the works of the philosophers that I talk about. You will find these readings attached to the lectures of the third, fourth, and fifth sections, respectively. You can download them in PDF format.
Moreover, there are multiple-choice quizzes at the end of each section. Three of them are about the content of the assigned readings. There are also other quizzes designed to help you distill the information covered in the lectures.
The course finishes with a final exam in the form of a multiple-choice quiz that contains 10 questions. You will also be provided with information on how to continue studying this subject, should you wish to.
We will learn the leading approaches to philosophy in the twentieth century in the UK and the USA.
