PHIL 2221 - The Philosophy of Language Prerequisite

Institution:

Stockton University

Subject:

Description:

Not open to those with credit for PHIL 3110. Not open to freshmen. This course introduces students to the philosophy of language by considering both general issues about meaning and particular sorts of linguistic expressions that have attracted philosopher's attention. The central question raised by the course is how our words are often able to refer to or say something about things distinct from them. The answer, perhaps, is that our words have meanings, and their meanings connect them to the world; but filling in this answer turns out to be very challenging. Faculty: D.
