The two main topics will be reference and modal knowledge: how can we think or talk about things outside of our heads, and how can we know that something non-actual is possible? These are very fundamental questions whose answers deeply shape how one goes about doing philosophy. TEXTS We will read classic texts by Frege, Russell, Strawson, Searle, Kripke, Chalmers, and Grice, as well as a few more recent pieces. All texts will be available online. OBJECTIVES By the end of this course, students should: be able to explain and evaluate the main philosophical arguments and positions discussed in this course both orally and in writing; be able to appreciate the relevance of the topics discussed in this course to the practice of philosophy in general; have acquired and/or improved upon general skills useful for critically engaging with philosophical ideas as well as other pursuits: skills involved in analyzing and critically evaluating arguments, skills involved in effective oral and written communication, and skill involved in fruitful engagement with peers.
