About this course

This course treats the development of Anglo-American philosophy during the 20th century, in which the philosophical current of thought known as Analytical philosophy took shape and was developed in the United Kingdom and the United States. The core interest of this course represents an epistemological study of the major themes of analytic philosophy from the consideration of three of the most important authors during the twentieth century: W. V. Quine, Donald Davidson, and Hilary Putnam. Following the historical development of analytic thought, we will try to highlight the problems around the concept of truth to demonstrate the primarily metaphysical interest of the authors, as well as of the entire contemporary analytic school.
