Majors Seminar Resource List
Resources for the course include readings on philosophical method, but also many topics which help us think about the diversity of ways in which philosophy is produced, in writing as well as other media. We can explore the differences between academic and popular styles, as well as philosophy written for diverse audiences. Our interest in contemporary methods and problems that are attracting research interest gives us some freedom in choosing readings.
