Philosophical Landmarks

Description

This course is about major new discoveries and developments that have occurred in philosophy - developments that forever changed how philosophers approach major questions in metaphysics, epistemology, the philosophy of mind, ethics (including, e.g., climate change and intergenerational justice), and the philosophy of language. Topics covered will vary from year to year depending on student interest; these may include groundbreaking discoveries by philosophers such as Quine, Kripke, Putnam, Lewis, Nagel and Davidson, as well as the work of earlier philosophers.
