Classics in Philosophy: Wittgenstein's Investigations - HS516

Meets the following requirements: HS   

The Philosophical Investigations is one of the most important philosophy books published in the 20th century. It is the clearest expression of Ludwig Wittgenstein's revolutionary views of language, mind and meaning and has become a source of ideas for a fundamental reinterpretation of both the natural and social sciences. His intense and imaginative writing style with its short paragraphs and countless examples has inspired many poets and novelists and not a few film directors. For anyone interested in a critical appraisal of the intellectual disciplines, this is the one book to master. The class will be conducted in seminar style with student presentations of the material and a final term paper.

Level:  Advanced. Class limit:15. *HS*
