[Philosophy] Richard's thoughts

[Richard O'Donovan]

Good to hear from you Rodney!  I agree that it's good to have more time for each texts - I think that was the unanimous view of people prior to the review, so that's definitely a plus.  I knew you'd miss MLK.  I've just started to have a look at the 'new' Nietzsche text and the first paragraph is already quite daunting!!  I'm still trying to work it out after 3 or 4 readings... but perhaps that says more about me than the text... in any case, I think we're going to need that extra time!!

Richard, Greg, et. al.
 
It is good to see this list going well. Thanks Kevork.
 
Regarding the revised study design, I must say that I was greatly surprised.  The removal of some of the texts was not what I expected.  I agree with Richard that the Sartre deletion will be noticed. King will also be missed.
 
I actually showed the revisions to some former students a few weeks ago and they were almost incensed about it.  As difficult as all of the texts were, they did not want any of them to be deleted. :)  Wow, I must have sold well to them....
 
I have not spent much time pondering the changes, but I am happy to see that we will have more time to work with the individual texts.
 
Well, good day to all and I look forward to reading more ruminations.
 
Rodney

What a sick puppy you are Greg.  All those floods out your way have done nothing to cleanse your heretical ways I see!!
 
While there's a little life in this list, does anyone have any comments on the new study for next year?  I confess to being a little taken aback by some of the text choices... I think Sartre was one of the better ones - certainly from the kids' perspective.  Any thoughts?
