Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Wittgenstein's remarks on rule-following ("Philosophical Investigations", §§ 139-242), have brought about a vivid discussion on the nature of rules and rule-following. The goal of this course is to introduce into this debate and show its relevance for different philosophical disciplines.
The course is a seminar that gives ample space to discussion.

Assessment and permitted materials

Apart from the active participation in the discussions in class, the exam consists in two parts:
(1) Either a presentation or five short "preparations" (max. 1 page), in which the central thesis of a text discussed in class is summarized.
(2) A short paper, in which one of the topics discussed in class is presented and discussed.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Examination topics

Reading list

Die im Seminar diskutierten Texte werden rechtzeitig vor der ersten Lehrveranstaltung (5.4.) auf der moodle-Seite des Kurses bekannt gegeben.
