Analytic Philosophy
A century after its
inception, analytic philosophy continues to clarify issues through
argumentation, analysis, and logical rigor—and to parse out the phenomenon
of language. This program scrutinizes the founding of analytic philosophy,
the rise of logical positivism, the rejection of metaphysics, and the advent
of linguistic philosophy through Russell’s Principia Mathematica,
Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, Willard Van Orman
Quine’s “Two Dogmas of Empiricism,” the Vienna Circle’s manifesto, and other
seminal works. Penetrating commentary is provided by Harvard University’s
Hilary Putnam, Rutgers University’s Colin McGinn, and USC’s Scott Soames.
(49 minutes) The DVD version has on-demand English subtitles and can be
viewed using a DVD player or computer DVD-ROM drive.
