* Announcements: See [[https://www.facebook.com/pages/PHIL2120-2015b/871551012935275?ref=hl|Facebook page]]. Please check the page regularly for updates. If you have questions about the content discussed in the lectures, post them to Facebook rather than email the lecturer, so that other students can also participate in the discussion.
* Information: Each week we will discuss a seminal work in the early days of analytic philosophy. You *have to* read the work before the lecture, and we shall reconstruct the arguments and try to understand the importance of the work within its historical context. Not recommended for students who have not taken a philosophy course before.
