Title: KANT
Instructor: BURGE, C.T.
This is a forum for graduate students who are in the process of writing their dissertations to present to one another work in process. It is open only to advanced graduate students (and faculty) in the UCLA department. Title: ETHICS & VALUE THEORY
Instructor: HIERONYMI, P.
The topic for the quarter will be theories of truth and (how they are constrained by) semantic paradoxes. I am not yet sure what we will read. The literature is too enormous to cover without excluding prominent approaches. We will certainly cover Tarski’s original paper on the Definition of Truth, and Kripke’s Outline of a Theory of Truth, and quite a few other readings. SEM-PHILOS OF LANG
