Topics for the Literature Review

Spring, 2006

Here is a list of possible topics for the literature review. If you have another topic you would like to do instead, please clear it with me first. (For example, I haven't listed Leibniz or Berkeley, since we will discuss them only briefly.) Note that topics must be reasonably focused -- for example, "Descartes' Meditations" would not be a suitable topic!

(You might well want to refine some of these topics further.  For instance, if you wanted to focus this narrowly, instead of surveying treatments of Kant's views of space and time in general, you could survey the literature on one specific argument, e.g. the argument from incongruent counterparts.)

Descartes:

Spinoza:

Leibniz:

Locke:

Hume:

Kant:
