- Inhalt
- In this course, we will read John McDowell’s Mind and World, which is undoubtedly a classic of contemporary philosophy. The book deals with issues in epistemology (centrally, the question how we can acquire knowledge through perception), but also addresses issues in other areas of philosophy, such as metaphysics and the philosophy of mind. For McDowell argues that in order for sensory knowledge to be possible, we must conceive of both mind and world in a specific way: the world must itself be conceptually articulated, as our perceptual judgements are. McDowell thus offers a strong criticism of analytic empiricism. Although the book is a work of systematic philosophy, McDowell’s argument often depends on a deep understanding of the history of philosophy (most importantly, of Aristotle, Kant, and Wittgenstein). Although not strictly required, basic knowledge of the works of these philosophers is thus recommended for those following this course.
