Lehrinhalte: Nelson Goodman’s relatively small book „Ways of Worldmaking“ has been translated into German under the title “Weisen der Welterzeugung”. While it is possible, of course, to consult this translation, we will be reading and discussing Goodman’s book in English. It is a classic text of analytic philosophy and like all of Goodman’s work it is written with beautiful clarity. Still, some aspects of it are difficult to understand, others are part of long-standing controversies. The aim of this course is to also include one or the other discussion from the secondary literature.
