This is a very interesting and thorough document but seems more of a philosophical guide to studying with Professor Gilbert - plus general research study advice - than an actual syllabus; although perhaps due to the more open-ended nature of PhDs that is usual (I don't have an academic background)? I ask because I clicked on it expecting some technical list of topic areas, though I did find it instructive and useful despite that.
