Advanced Methods in Philosophy

The goal of this course is for students to improve their fluency in the primary methodologies of analytic philosophy. These methods include the construction and evaluation of deductive arguments, the presentation and interpretation of evidence, and the recognition and avoidance of fallacious reasoning. To cultivate students’ skills in these methods, we will read a series of influential articles from different areas of analytic philosophy and examine the methodologies they employ.
