End of the semester, next semester's courses

I had my last classes of the semester today. All that's left is to finish writing and turn in my metaphysics paper. I've also registered for my seminars next semester:

Logic (review of 1st order predicate logic and some metalogical results)
Epistemology, Van Cleve/Easwaran (I think mostly formal epistemology)
Metaethics, Mark Schroeder (denotic modals)
Writing for Publication, Soames/Wilson , in which we read the following books, and write about them. The goal is to develop one of these papers into something to send off for publication.

Saul Kripke - Wittgenstein: On Rules and Private Language
Kit Fine - Semantic Relationism
Donald Davidson - Truth and Predication
Kendall Walton - Marvelous Images: On Values and the Arts
Timothy Williamson - Vagueness
Timothy Williamson - The Philosophy of Philosophy
Robert Stalnaker - Our Knowledge of the Internal World

Updated 12/6/08: I added links to the Amazon pages for the books we'll be reading.
