Readings and lecture files

 

From this page you can download a series of papers, part of which you may find of use as pre-course readings. All the papers are related to arguments that will be discussed during the course.  Files can be downloaded from links on individual lecture titles from the table below.  Active links in bold capital letters. More papers and lecture files will be uploaded before the course starts. We, therefore, invite you to visit this page periodically. 

Looking forward to seeing you in Urbino,

Best Regards
