Are the books listed available in the Campus Bookshop?
Those texts
marked with a B ought to be or have been on sale in the Campus Bookshop. However, please note that lecturers have no control
over whether or not the Bookshop orders what we request or when these
arrive.
Texts may also
be purchased from
on-line bookstores such as
www.amazon.com
or www.BarnesandNoble.com.
Do I have to purchase all the books listed?
You are not required to purchase any of the items
listed. With this in mind, where
possible, I have tried to place on the Reading Schedule links to online sources
of the Required Readings. In fact, links to a wide assortment of Required
and Recommended Readings available
online may be found on the PhilWeb page devoted to the school of thought or
theorist in question (see www.phillwebb.net).
Where Required Readings are not found in the anthologies
listed or available on-line, I will place a copy of the reading in
question in the course folder or of the book in question on reserve for you to
consult and, where necessary, photocopy. You should ask for the course
folder and for books on reserve at the circulation desk of the Main Library. However,
any texts marked with a
P are the ones that I would particularly advise you to
buy. If you
are unable or unwilling to own a copy of these and would prefer not
to access online sources, you may wish to photocopy the
relevant selections.
Are any of these books in the library?
Won't the other students grab them before I get there?
Most, if not all, books mentioned on the Reading Schedule (both Required and
Recommended Readings) may be found in the
Main Library (you may access the catalogue
here). In some cases, there are several copies of each book
available. R indicates that a single copy of the book in question has been placed on
reserve in the Main Library. These are overnight loans (obtainable
after 5 pm and to be returned by 10 am the following morning). If you make use of the copies on
reserve, you should photocopy the essay(s) in
question and return them as soon as possible, rather than keep them overnight,
in order to allow as many of your colleagues as possible to access the limited number of texts
which can be placed on reserve. Additional copies of the texts in question may in many cases also be
found in the stacks. REF indicates that a
copy of the book in question may be found in the Reference Section and, thus, may not be removed. You may need for obvious reasons,
therefore, to
photocopy the relevant section(s) thereof.
Legend:
B : Copies should be
