The course will provide a detailed overview of the philosopher T W Adorno’s views on art, politics and the relationship between the two. We will study certain key primary texts as well as some of the important secondary literature. The main texts for the course will be Adorno’s Minima Moralia and Adorno and Horkheimer’s The Dialectic of Enlightenment. In addition to these primary texts, Brian O’Connor’s Adorno (Routledge) provides a good introduction to Adorno’s thought.

This module aims to introduce the student to the main ideas, concepts and techniques of contemporary first-order logic, including syntax, semantics and natural deduction. Extensions of first-order logic with identity and function symbols are also considered, focusing on definite descriptions and non-denoting terms. Most of the course is based on Halbach's The Logic Manual (2010, OUP). Other mandatory readings are Russell (1905) "On Denoting" and Quine (1948) "On what there is". NB PHIL0005 Introduction to Logic 1 is a pre-requisite for this module.
