Grads enroll in
PHIL 281A. By uttering the words 'the cat is on the mat', you can get me to believe that the cat is on the mat. By writing a letter of reference that says my handwriting is outstanding, you can tell someone that I'm no good at philosophy. And with a sentence, the Queen can make you a Knight. In this course, we will explore the conditions that make these remarkable capacities possible, survey a number of theories that aim to explain them, and explore their significance for questions that are important across philosophy.
