Course Notes / Textbooks: |
You do not need to buy any books for Readings in Philosophy, but you may need to print the reader (primary sources), which I will provide to you weekly via itslearning. Apart from these, as a first port of call on any particular topic, check out the online Stanford Encyclopaedia of Philosophy (http://plato.stanford.edu/). The Routledge Encyclopaedia of Philosophy is also particularly useful. It is available on-line.
