Fall 2023 - This class is sublime. The lectures are interesting. Anyone who wants a real look into analytic philosophy as it is today should take this class. The class required 3 homework assignment submissions, 2 graded, an in person mid term, and a final paper submission. All the lectures were beyond interesting and studying the Tractatus and supplementary text was eye-opening. I strongly recommend this to anyone who enjoys analytic philosophy. Prof. Hsu is an incredible lecturer.
