g. WHAT READING WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
I would definitely recommend the purchase and studying of The Great Traditions because it is a wonderful guide that has helped me understand the basic philosophical concepts of all influencial philosophers. It is concise and is good for the use of comparison and contrast. I recommend the studying of the chapters on Kant and Mill especially. These two chapters along with the evolutionary psychology article are very interesting pieces to look at together.

h. EXTRA CREDIT COMPLETED?
None.
