How to obtain the readings: You need to purchase Stout's text and Anscombe's monograph; these can be obtained from Akademika. I recommend buying the collections of essays by Davidson (1980) and Frankfurt (1988), respectively, also available at Akademika. The linked papers can be accessed from any computer within the university's network.
