1 Foundations of Analytic Philosophy Foundations of Analytic Philosophy (2016-7) Mark Textor Lecture Plan: We will look at the ideas of Frege, Russell and Wittgenstein and the relations between them. Frege and Russell exchanged letters in which they explain their idea and criticize each other. Russell s Principles of Mathematics (1902) contains an Appendix in which he discusses Frege s doctrines and explains where and why he differs from Frege. Russell s On Denoting (1905) develops an argument that the distinction between sense and reference is deeply mysterious. In the first 7 weeks we will follow the debate between Russell and Frege. Then we will use our understanding of Frege and Russell to get a grip of the basic ideas of Wittgenstein s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. If time permits, we will consider Wittgenstein s influence on the Vienna Circle. Primary Readings: G. Frege: - Conceptual Notation. Section 8. - Foundations of Arithmetic (1884). translated by J.L Austin. - On Sense and Reference. In B. McGuiness (ed.) Gottlob Frege: Collected Papers on Mathematics, Logic and Philosophy. Blackwell On Concept and Object. In Gottlob Frege: Collected Papers on Mathematics, Logic and Philosophy. Blackwell B. Russell:
