20703104 PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE in Philosophy L-5 N0 FERRETTI FRANCESCO
(syllabus)
From Cartesian grammar to the pragmatics of language
The course aims to address one of the classic themes of the philosophy of language: the debate between the models inspired by the Cartesian-rationalist tradition and the theoretical perspectives that, referring to the real contexts of language use, promote a vision based on pragmatics. The aim of the course is to show how this debate has important repercussions on the theme of human nature.
