Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Due to Covid-19-related restrictions, this lecture course has to take place online though if things change later in the semester we might switch to in-class teaching. The weekly lectures will place via video-conference (collaborate).In this course we will examine the nature of rules and rule-following. In the first part we will study what rules are, how they differ from mere regularities and conventions and how they govern differing spheres of human activity from everyday social interactions to law. We will also pay special attention to constitutive rules and how they constitute activities like playing games, speaking languages, and performing speech acts like assertion. In the second part of the course we will relate this work to a range of puzzles arising from Ludwig Wittgenstein’s discussion of rule-following, Saul Kripke’s interpretation of it, and responses to both.
