Proposal for Hegel Reading Group

[anosognosia]

Preface:

Consider this a proposal in the literal sense that I hope that others will offer their comments and suggested amendments, or offer their own proposal if their suggestions vary greatly from these. Where I sound overly formal, read my intention as for brevity!

My Role:I am happy to take on the role of 'facilitator' with the goal of

This sounds good to me, and I'll volunteer to be entered on the session leader list.

I think the method of allowing for greater or lesser sessions is good, but are we going to finish this by the end of the summer? If so, it may require more planning, or we could simply agree to either attempt to continue after or be OK with ceasing where we cease.

[anosognosia]

I was thinking that it wouldn't matter how much we finished, but it's a good question to consider.

[yechezkiel]

Yes, I'm fine with just going as far as we can, but thought we should let people speak up if they wanted something more orderly.

[rechercher]

I don't have any comments on the format, but I'm looking forward to this. :)

[paulhope]

neat! i'll try to keep up.

[yechezkiel]

I'm in the same boat as you RE: the fall.

The Stern commentary looks good, I'll consider getting the ebook (as much as I hate reading on my laptop).

[anosognosia]

Doesn't look like we're getting any volunteers for session leaders other than you two. Not sure if interest has evaporated or if this just turns out not to be a good time for others. Do you guys want to go ahead with the three of us leading and see how it works out?

[yechezkiel]

I'm willing to try. I feel less confident being pretty unschooled in Hegel, or the continental tradition in general, but I've been reading the preface and some other articles to try and get a grasp on it.
