The seminar will be devoted to the study of Aristotle's account of how human language and human thought represent the world. Aristotle developed a model of language and thought according to which words signify thoughts in the minds of language users, these thoughts in turn representing the world. Aristotle's theory of linguistic signification and his representational theory of thought are neatly integrated and provide a highly sophisticated account of how we represent the world.
