Comment on Ask HN: What non CompSci courses to take in college?parent

Comments

I agree, but would suggest a higher level course focusing on the works of Quine and Davidson may be of interest to an analytic mind. For a cs student with a strong mathematics background, a propositional logic course is often too basic.

I would also suggest a course in either philosophy of science or philosophy of law. I found courses in other areas; aesthetics, epistomology, existentialism to be much navel gazing.

If you go this route, I also suggest you keep in mind the goal for these courses should be to hone your skills in analytical presentation. Philosophy generally require you produce many papers.
