Secondary Sources
Below is a list of books available in the K College Library that I would recommend as helpful to different topics in the class. Obviously, no one is going to read them all. The idea here is to use this list as a resource guide. For instance, if you're doing something on Spinoza, you might look for all the Spinoza references here and then see how many you can track down in the library. Call numbers are included along with the author and title. Some of these are especially important and I may put them on reserve. So if they are not on the shelves, check with me or the library. Apologies for any repetitions or typos.
