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