出版於 1865 年的 Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》) 和它的續集 Through the Looking-Glass (《愛麗絲鏡中奇遇》，1871) 是廣受喜愛的兒童文學作品，跟隨著書中主角 Alice 的奇幻經歷，讀者在想像中體驗各種古怪、荒誕的情節，經常出現的謎語、雙關、和文字遊戲更令此書饒富興味。在語言哲學中，我們偶爾會見到哲學家援引 Alice 與書中其他角色的對話做討論，例如屢次登場的 Humpty Dumpty (Donnellan 1968; MacKay 1968; Davidson 1986)。事實上，除了語言哲學和邏輯之外，它們也為女性主義、夢境與實在等哲學立場或主題提供了素材。這門課透過這兩本書來探討一些哲學問題。
作者 Lewis Carroll 的本名是 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898)，他是英國文學家、數學家、與邏輯學家。除了文學作品之外，Lewis Carroll 著有 The Game of Logic (1886) 和 Symbolic Logic (1896) 等書，也在 Mind 上發表了 “A Logical Paradox” (Volume III, Issue 11, July 1894) 和 “What the tortoise said to Achilles” (Volume IV, Issue 14, April 1895) 等哲學論文。

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland ("Alice's Adventures in Wonderland") and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass ("Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", 1871) are widely loved children's literature. Following the fantasy experience of the protagonist Alice in the book, readers experience various weird and absurd plots in their imagination. The frequent riddles, puns, and word games make this book more interesting. In the philosophy of language, we occasionally see philosophers citing conversations between Alice and other characters in the book, such as Humpty Dumpty, who appears frequently (Donnellan 1968; MacKay 1968; Davidson 1986). In fact, in addition to the philosophy of language and logic, they also provide material for philosophical positions or themes such as feminism, dreams and reality. This course explores some philosophical issues through these two books.
