Notes and topics
BR confirms that he will not attend the 2 November meeting on Kallen's book on the CCNY case. He suggests some books for reading by his prospective class: Plato's Phaedo and F.M. Cornford's From Religion to Philosophy, "a fairly stiff book". Should he cover the whole period from 600 BC to the present or give one year to each period? There is a separate typed list with two of these books plus three others; it is dated 11 November 1940.
Book list: Plutarch, Life of Lycurgus; Plato, Phaedo and Republic; Rousseau, The Confession of a Savoyard Vicar; F.M. Cornford, From Religion to Philosophy.
