Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2392 John McDowell is widely regarded as one of the greatest living philosophers writing in English today. In this course we will begin by reading his Locke Lectures, delivered at Oxford University in AY 90/91 and published as Mind and World. We will then turn to a selection of his essays chosen by students in the class. McDowell has written on an enormous range of topics -- ethics, ancient philosophy, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, aesthetics, and more -- so there is bound to be something for everyone. If there is interest, we may already read a few essays in an exchange McDowell and Charles Travis have had (and are still having) on perceptual content. Div: III; |
