Curriculum/recommended reading of Philosophy

Post by Aetixintro »

Half the expertise of philosophy (and the Ivy League) lies in guidance and enabling the students to become masters in their field. A key part of this is the curriculum. I present here some good advise on Philosophy books to read from the University of Oslo and I hope you can add others. Perhaps you like to comment on them as well. It follows:
Metaphysics and Philosophy of Mind: http://www.uio.no/studier/emner/hf/ifik ... mliste.xml
Epistemology and Philosophy of Science: http://www.uio.no/studier/emner/hf/ifik ... mliste.xml
Ethics: http://www.uio.no/studier/emner/hf/ifik ... mliste.xml
Logics and Philosophy of Language: http://www.uio.no/studier/emner/hf/ifik ... mliste.xml
History of Philosophy: http://www.uio.no/studier/emner/hf/ifik ... mliste.xml

Don't be scared if you find Norwegian terms and words there and you can always use Google Translation, please.
The books are largely listed in English. This list is for the basics as noted by lower numbers, i.e., 1xxx rather than 2xxx or 3xxxx and so on. Enjoy! I'll add more later!

[Edit, 25.02.2011:] I also think that this openness is part of an international academic openness that is implicitly also open to criticism, but also for supporting the developing nations and I think it should continue to be so out of the democratic ideals and for what humans are capable of to their own ends! [End of edit.]

Cheers! :)
