Course Materials

Obviously, you want to ask questions in class and come by my office to ask questions. But secondary sources are a great way of getting help. Many resources are available at the Chester Fritz Library that offer general introductions to philosophers. Some of these are more technical than others, but all should be understandable with a little effort. Here are a few reliable ones to start with, along with how to find them in the Chester Fritz Library::

The Encyclopedia of philosophy: REFERENCE B41.E5

Routledge encyclopedia of philosophy: REFERENCE B51 R68 1998

A critical history of Western philosophy by D.J. O'connor: B72.O2

Any of the Past Masters books: type in "Past Masters" in ODIN, under keywords

Any of the Wadsworth Philosophers Series: type in "wadsworth philosophers series" in ODIN, under keywords

This billboard is in Vienna.

Tell me, why don't you think they have this ad campaign in the US?
