PHIL 2220 - Philosophy of Language I

3 hours
Prerequisites: ENGL 1101  with a grade of “C-” or better or Permission of Instructor
Language is strange to think about. We try to describe facts with it, but we also try to create fictions with it. Does language represent the world accurately and yield truth? Or is it more the medium of our experience of truth? This course provides students with a survey of major themes in philosophy of language in the last two centuries. Topics vary and may include metaphor, reference and sense, and universals.
