It is recommended to have studied History of Ancient Philosophy and History of Modern Philosophy.
In this course one of the main schools of contemporary philosophy, the Analytical Philosophy, will be introduced. The Analytic Philosophy now encompasses a far wider range of approaches, ideas and positions than it ever did in its early days. This course will examine the origins of this tradition by closely reading primary texts from key figures, including Gottlob Frege, Bertrand Russell, G.E. Moore, Rudolf Carnap, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Gilbert Ryle, and Elizabeth Anscombe. The purpose is to allow the understanging of this tradition form within, capturing what are the motivations that led to its development.You will develop an understanding of the methods and claims of analytic philosophy and be well positioned to participate in contemporary philosophical debates.

The guided activities follow the methodology of learning based on the approach and problem solving. These activities are basically of two types:
a) Theoretical presentations of the subject with discussion of problems related to it by the teacher.
b) Argumentation practices in the classroom through scheduled lectures. The student will have to read texts that will be presented and discussed by all the students in such a way that they capture the main ideas and the internal relations of the text.
Theoretical and practical classes will alternate throughout the course.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.
