I’ve recently been taken up by an interest to read Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason again… It was very hard to type that sentence without screaming.
Anyway, as usual I was distracted by finding a plethora of other interesting books, and have compiled a small reading list for myself, containing the following:
Existentialism is a Humanism. Jean-Paul Sartre.
On Virtue Ethics. Rosalind Hurstouse
Discourses on Power, from Hobbes to Foucault. Barry Hindess
History of the Concept of Mind. Paul S. MacDonald
Using Foucault’s Methods. Gavin Kendall and Gary Wickham
Critique of Pure Reason (abridged). Immanuel Kant
Cartesian Meditations. Edmund Husserl
As I read through these again, I hope to do a series of blog posts on each. I’ll start with Existentialism is a Humanism, because it deals quite significantly with Sartre’s relationship with the French Communist Party in 1945, which I can relate to eerily well, because those same difficulties and disagreements led me to leave a political party that was generally Marxist centric.
If any of those sound interesting, please watch this space in the coming weeks 🙂 If anyone has recommendations as to what you would like me to address specifically, or if you have any further readings to add to my list it would be greatly appreciated.
