SUMMARY:Lecture course "Wittgenstein’s conception of philosophy as devoid of theories"
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Oskari Kuusela (UEA\, Norwich) will give a 20h lecture
  course on "Wittgenstein’s conception of philosophy as devoid of the
 ories" at the University of Uppsala\, 7-11 September 2009. The course 
 is intended for MA and PhD-students\, but is also open to others inter
 ested in\nthe theme. Successful completion of the course will give 7\,
 5 ECTS-credits. The course will\nrun from Monday to Friday and consist
 s of one morning and one afternoon session each day.\n\nSummary of con
 tent\: \nWittgenstein’s philosophical approach\, in both his early a
 nd later period\, is informed by the view that there are no philosophi
 cal theories (theses or doctrines). Instead\, he seeks to articulate a
  conception of philosophy as an activity of clarification of language 
 use whose aim is to resolve philosophical problems. How exactly this a
 pproach is meant to lead to the resolution of philosophical problems\,
  and what it means to philosophise without theses remain controversial
  issues\, however. The goal of this course is to clarify these issues 
 and thus Wittgenstein’s contribution to 20th Century philosophy.
