This course will take students through the history of European and Anglo-American philosophy of the 20th century, focusing on the 'linguistic turn.' Movements we may study include logical positivism, pragmatism and neo-pragmatism, ordinary language philosophy, phenomenology, existentialism, critical theory, post-structuralism/post-modernism, and feminism. We will look both at the content of philosophical ideas and their historical, social, and political contexts. 1 term -4 credits. Normally offered alternate years.
