Phil 378F: Philosophy of Literature
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
What is a literary work? Do certain interpretations of literary works (e.g., the author's) have more authority than others? What makes a literary work good? Is the answer to this question culturally relative? Why do we react emotionally to fiction even when we know that it isn't true? What do metaphors teach us about the nature of meaning and thinking? In this course we examine these and other questions. Most of the readings are drawn from philosophy, but we also have occasion to read some fiction, poetry, and literary criticism. Prerequisite: one course in philosophy at the 100 or 200 level, or permission of the instructor.

Phil 381: Pragmatism
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The focus of this course is the classical pragmatist movement, a cluster of then-highly controversial ideas developed from the 1870s through the 1940s by Peirce, James, Dewey, Meade, and C.I. Lewis. Widely regarded as the distinctively American contribution to the history of philosophy, it has been profoundly influential in shaping much subsequent American philosophical theory, especially the work of recent and contemporary analytically oriented philosophers. We concentrate on classical pragmatism in the writings of its early proponents, but pay some attention also to the prominence of pragmatistic elements in the thought of Carnap, Quine, Davidson, Rorty, Putnam, and Goodman.

Phil 382: Early Twentieth Century Philosophy
3.00 Credits
Washington University in St Louis
The philosophy of the early 20th century represents a watershed in the history of Western philosophy, as the point when analytic and "Continental" approaches went their separate ways (despite common roots in Kantian philosophy) and also as the point when philosophy of language and philosophy of science emerged as central fields of philosophy. Against the background of the work of Frege, Husserl, and the neo-Kantians, this course examines the exchanges among the philosophers of this period (including Russell, Wittgenstein, Moore, and the Vienna Circle), which set much of the analytic agenda for the rest of the century on such topics as meaning, reference, the unity of science, and the fact-value distinction. Prerequisite: one course in philosophy at the 100 and 200 level, or permission of the instructor.
