Law asked:

I am an undergraduate philosophy major with concentrations in cognitive science and medical ethics.
I need to fulfill a language requirement in order to graduate but I am not sure which language
(German, French, Latin or Greek) would be most useful considering my two concentrations. I may
need to read writings on medicine, health, the body, what constitutes the mind or a living human
being. Also ethics, to examine topics like suicide and some legal/ political theories (as it pertains to
the state and its responsibilities to welfare issues, like the provision of health care). I am a sophomore
and while I am certain by my senior year the correct response to this question would be obvious to
me, I cannot wait till then to begin my language courses. Please advise.

Your best bet is German. Aside from the obvious philosophers, there is a great deal of work being
done now in Germany in various areas of cognitive science and consciousness studies.
