PHIL 164 - Metaphysics

Institution:
Harvard University
Subject:
Description:
Do numbers exist? Are statements that attribute moral properties to actions, e.g., 'stealing is wrong' strictly speaking false? Are colors mind-independent properties of objects? Realists and anti-realists give different answers. This course focuses on the realism/anti-realism debate. Our aim is two-fold. To learn more about the status of the debate in fields as diverse as philosophy of mathematics and meta-ethics, and to see if there is a pattern that unifies the various realist/anti-realist positions.
