Resurrection

So...tentatively, ever tentatively, I've decided to attempt to resurrect the old blog. Some of the dreams of revisiting posts of days past is somewhat withered, as happens to all dreams too long neglected. That said, as usual, I'd like to keep a steady stream of posts devoted to either interesting readings, with occasional comments, and perhaps a few more orderly proceedings about events in the life.

About that, I've recently started up a small but determined philosophy book club. The eclecticism of the group has been well-matched by the readings so far. We started with the Euthyphro, went directly to Descartes's Meditations, then a two-week foray into Hume's Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, and next we will treat Aristotle's Poetics. I'd really like to go back and do some posting about the Hume, but for now, I'll probably wind up jotting down some notes about the Poetics in preparation for our next meeting.

Interestingly, our little group features an actually active blogger, who has very thoughtfully posted some content related to our reading. His thoughts, along with my off-the-cuff response, can be found here.
