Some of the selections are quite brief so this should not prove to be a great burden. Some of the authors and their writings will receive close scrutiny in class discussion, others less so, and some may not be mentioned at all, but should be read nonetheless. In some cases specific reading assignments will be mentioned in class. Chapters 11, 12, and 13.
