General Description and Aims of the Module

This is NOT a class for EXCHANGE students.

The present module offers an introduction to contemporary philosophy, with special focus on the problems of the
language-thought relation. To this end, different philosophical traditions and major representatives of these
traditions will be presented in the morning lectures and more closely read and discussed in the afternoon reading
seminar. Among the questions which will lead our discussions are: What is the relation/difference between
thought and language? Which one should be granted priority over the other? Is language meant to just express
our thoughts? Or should we accept the claim to the effect that there cannot be any thought without language? To
what extent does language, its intrinsic normativity and structure, shape and form our experience? Is it possible to
speak of pre-linguistic and pre-predicative experience? Or is this notion a contradiction in terms?
