  • 課程概述
    卡納普是二十世紀最偉大的哲學家之一,以邏輯實證論(又稱作邏輯經驗論)的開創者聞名。卡納普在許多的哲學領域當中,具有非常大的影響力,包括科學哲學、語言哲學、數學哲學、邏輯和語意學、甚至是形上學。最近幾年來,特別在兩個議題上,卡納普哲學再次受到重視:在後設存有學的討論中,不少人主張卡納普的存有貶義論,而在概念工程學的討論中,也有不少人主張卡納普的闡釋方法論。 在本課程中,我們會研讀卡納普的主要著作。我們會特別聚焦在卡納普十分具有影響力的幾本書,從當中挑選閱讀材料,包括《世界的邏輯結構》、《科學的統一性》、《語言的邏輯語法》、《語意學導論》、《意義與必然性》等書。我們也會研讀卡納普的幾篇重要論文,包括〈形上學的消除〉、〈可檢測性與意義〉、以及〈經驗論、語意學、與存有學〉等。
