EASTER HOLIDAY Week 9 (15 April): Week 10 (22 April): Week 11 (29 April): Week 12 (6 May) Hume on Induction Hume on Causation Hume and the External World Revision - Bank Holiday Monday so no lecture. Drop in session 8 May for revision queries. Weekly tutorials (starting in Week 2) will address issues raised in each lecture. Week-byweek tutorial questions and reading list will be posted up on BLACKBOARD before lecture/tutorial. 6. READING LIST A web-based version of this reading list, with links to catalogue entries, is available on The University of Manchester Library web site. (Click on 'Reading Lists' on the left of the main catalogue page.) Detailed bibliographies for each week’s philosophical topic will be given on the tutorial worksheets (available on Blackboard). But, in addition, the following books also have helpful material in them. All reading lists are for guidance only! The texts listed should help you increase your understanding of the topics covered in the course, and help you prepare for the assessed essay and exam. But you are also encouraged to use your own initiative and find relevant articles and books by chasing up interesting footnotes, browsing real and virtual libraries, following your hunches, and so on. PLEASE NOTE: A more detailed, week by week reading list will be posted on BLACKBOARD before the lecture/tutorial. But here are some of the key texts which shall appear on those reading lists. Starred items in the secondary texts are those that I think are particularly helpful. Primary Texts Locke, J. An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Berkeley, G. Principles of Human Knowledge. Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous. Hume, D. A Treatise on Human Nature, book 1. An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. Secondary Texts Woolhouse, R.S. The Empiricists, (OUP, 1998).
