<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Next week we will start our discussion of Kripke, <em>Naming and Necessity</em>. For Monday, please read the first lecture. As I mentioned in class last Wednesday, this is one instance where you <em>really</em> should not leave the reading until the last minute. Start reading as soon as you can.</p>
<p>Note that there will be reading questions due Monday, so that’s another reason to do the readings in advance. The reading question will be <a href='http://perezcarballo.org/phil428/assignments'>posted</a> in the next few hours.</p>
<p>One final note: please remember to fill out the Doodle poll for the make-up class.</p>]]></content>

<id>http://perezcarballo.org/phil428/blog/2012/03/28/two-announcements</id>
<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>(Actually, three announcements.)</p>
<p>First, about next week: We will finish our discussion of Chapter 2 of Kripke, <em>Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language</em>. We will concentrate on his objections to the dispositional account. You may want to re-read pp. 21-36.</p>
<p>If time permits, we will start our discussion of Quine, ‘Reference and Modality’, in <em>From a Logical Point of View</em>, 2nd ed., Cambridge: HUP, 1961. An electronic copy of that paper is available in the Dropbox folder. You may also want to look at Quine, ’<a href='http://www.jstor.org/stable/2017458'>Notes on existence and Necessity</a>’, <em>Journal of Philosophy</em>, Vol. 40, No. 5, 1943, pp. 113-127, also available in the Dropbox folder.</p>
<!-- more -->
<p>Second, <a href='http://www.southampton.ac.uk/philosophy/about/staff/rm.page'>Ray Monk</a> (Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southampton, and author of a well-known biography of Wittgenstein, <a href='http://www.amazon.com/Ludwig-Wittgenstein-The-Duty-Genius/dp/0140159959'><em>The Duty of Genius</em></a>) will be giving a talk in the Philosophy Department on Thursday, April 5.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Title: “How can I be a logician before I am a human being?”, The Life and Work of Ludwig Wittgenstein.</p>
<p>Time and place: Mudd Hall 102, 2pm</p>
</blockquote>
<p>It should be fun.</p>
<p>Finally, remember there is <a href='http://perezcarballo.org/phil428/calendar'>no class</a> on Wednesday, April 4.</p>]]></content>
