Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In the first part of the lecture course the new interest, in contemporary philosophy, in American pragmatism is investigated. (This interest is generated, a), by the crisis of Analytic Philosophy, and, b), by unresolved problems within the project of deconstruction.) In part 2, the main part of the lecture course, core texts of the Classical American Pragmatist (Peirce, James, Royce, Mead and Dewey) will be presented and analyzed. Part 3 of the course is dedicated to Richard Rorty and Hilary Putnam, the two most prominent neo-pragmatists, and casts a glance at the work of Robert Brandom.
