Draft of Reading List--by Steve Wood and David Backer, emailed to Backer on March 29 2006

Gaaaak! A Philosphical Positivism Reading List (a working draft):

1) Law and Truth – Dennis Patterson
2) Real Knowing – Linda Alcoff (and other works)
3) Structuralism and Philosophy for the Human Sciences – Peter Caws
4) Must We Mean What We Say? – Stanley Cavell (and other works)
5) The Inclusion of the Other – Jurgen Habermas
6) “Freedom of the Will and the Concept of a Person” – Harry G. Frankfurt (and other works)
7) Subj: Frege and Husserl - Dagfin Follesdale
8) Truth – Simon Blackburn (we add Blackburn because he takes Nietzsche seriously, although his thinking elsewhere and in other chapters of this book suggest a non-positivism)

Possible Positivists? (which we only know by reputation)
1) Hubert Dreyfus
2) Paul Taylor
