Course objectives:
|
The aim of this course is to introduce students into philosophy of language and make them acquainted with main theories of meaning. Philosophical problems will be analyzed as the problems of language. Basic terminology will be explained and the most influential thinkers of analytical and post-analytical philosophical tradition will be introduced. It will be shown to students, that even though language is a basic instrument they use daily for communication with others as well as for orientation within the world, its essence and many of its principles remain astonishing and miraculous.
