From 4/29: Analytic Philosophy

To wrap up the semester, we dabbled a bit in analytic philosophy where the focus is not so much on the history of ideas as it is on the logical congency of arguments. For analytics, thinking and language are inseparable. As Wittgenstein asserts, the limits of our language are the limits of our thought, rendering philosophy as a tool to separate that which can be said from that which cannot. In thinking about Wittgenstein, consider the merits and demerits of analytic philosophy, including whether it's emphasis on a third-person perspective effectively overthrows the Cartesian first-person bias.
