Logic & Philosophy of Science

Course Description


Course:  LPS/Phil 102
Name:  Introduction to the Theory of Knowledge
Description:  We will start by studying the virtues and vices of the standard account of propositional knowledge as true justified belief, then we will turn to more recent accounts of knowledge.  We will focus particularly on naturalized epistemology and on pragmatic accounts of knowledge. The course will include (among others) readings from Descartes, Hume, Kant, Peirce, Quine, and Putnum.
