Analytic Philosophy by Laura Garcia, Ph.D: 1. Overview

Recorded in 2004. The ideas prevalent in our own time are influenced heavily, for better or worse, by the development in England and America of analytic philosophy with its serious and sustained attention to language as the place where philosophical problems surface and where they might either be resolved, dissolved, or their originators absolved. This course follows the historical narrative of the movement from G. E. Moore and Bertrand Russell to the “ordinary language” philosophers, Ludwig Wittgenstein, positivism, realism and anti-realism. The concluding assessment examines the implications of this method of analysis for moral and religious beliefs.
