		Course Texts Readings for this course are listed on the course syllabus. Almost all of the readings are available online to students using a library terminal or accessing the library through a proxy server using their uwo e-mail login id and password. Instructions for accessing the readings can be obtained from the online readings page. While the readings from Hobbes, Descartes, Locke and Hume are available online, serious students of philosophy will want to have complete print editions of these important works. Please obtain the editions identified here as they are ones that will be cited in class and in answers to reading questions. These are either student editions that contain useful editorial supplements (in addition to printing the text in a modern typeface), or critical editions that serious students of the history of philosophy will want to purchase for ongoing use. The following texts have been ordered for purchase from the bookstore:
			Michael R. Matthews, ed., The Scientific Background to Modern Philosophy: Selected Readings (Indianapolis: Hackett, 1989)
			Thomas Hobbes, Human Nature, John Gaskin, ed. (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1994)
			René‚ Descartes, Meditations on First Philosophy, Andrew Bailey (ed), Ian Johnston (trans) (Peterborough: Broadview Press, 2013). (This can be purchased as an e-book directly from the Broadview Press website www.broadviewpress.com)
			John Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Students who are not upset by 17th century English diction, orthography, printing conventions, and punctuation, and who intend to do further studies in early modern philosophy should obtain the critical edition edited by Peter H. Nidditch (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1975); others may use the modernized abridgement edited by Kenneth Winkler (Indianapolis: Hackett: 1996). The latter will need to obtain a copy of Essay IV.xix, which is available online.
