Second Group of Philosophy Readings

Refer to Doug Kutach's site for readings from Newton and Leibniz. Doug has instructions on specific things to pay particular attention to, but the readings are as follows: First read Newton's Scholium to Definition 8. Next read the excerpts Doug has prepared from the Leibniz-Clarke Correspondence.

Also read the excerpts Doug has also posted some from Berkeley's Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge.

Finally, I have posted chapter 9 from an out-of-print, longer version of Professor Cooper's textbook as a PDF. You can find this chapter in the "Physics: Structure and Meaning" folder labeled "ch9 Long Edition" on the MyCourses site.

You should complete these readings by Thursday, February 19th.
