Zakres tematyczny

This is a companion course to 'English Philosophy Outside the Isles'. This course aim is to introduce the most fundamental contributions to philosophy made by British thinkers over the centuries. The term 'British' is treated here loosely and is used to indicate a strong connection with the philosophical ideas developed in what is now the United Kingdom and Ireland rather than implying any sort of national affiliation. The time span stretches from the Middle Ages to the first half of the last century. The philosophers covered include: Roger Bacon, Duns Scotus, William of Ockham, Francis Bacon, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, George Berkeley, David Hume, Adam Smith, Charles Darwin, Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, Henry Sidgwick, G. E. Moore, J.M.E McTaggart, Bertrand Russell, L. Wittgenstein, A. J. Ayer, J. L. Austin, Gilbert Ryle, Peter Strawson and Karl Popper.
