Complete Course List
Summer 2007-2008 Courses and Syllabi
The following list of authors and their associated texts represents a minimal gathering of source materials with which every graduate from the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness program ought to be familiar, regardless of their particular area(s) of specialization. "Familiar" here does not necessarily mean that students will have read each and every text cover to cover. At the very least, however, it is expected that students will be able to speak intelligently about the core ideas or fundamental relevance of the majority of the authors on this list to the wider mission of the PCC program.
