I've bookmarked this, since my CompSci education was very light on humanities and especially the 'Curriculum' chapter seems valuable to me. Would be even better

  One thing I would like to see represented in the Curriculum>Philosophy section is Spinoza's Ethics.

    The "founder" of this is Alain de Botton. He studied philosophy and started writing books. His greatest success is "How Proust can change your life". In it he explains how to become a happier person by reading Proust for a big public. In interviews at that time (end 90's) he talked about erecting a school of happiness and he did that. The list features philosophers who can make you happy not the ones looking for the "truth". Descartes, Leibniz, Kant, Spinoza the whole school of rationalism is missing here.
