This follows a discussion on Reading Group Guidelines:
Some issues identified were accessibility and referencing.
I mentioned a few online articles but even better is to have a pdf version .
Having a list of such resources would be helpful. To develop a habit of reading, reflecting and writing.
Well, that’s the theory. But what about the practice?
I don’t know about others, but I’ve been finding other ways to ‘read’. Are they as valuable?
Listening to podcasts, watching YouTube.
Reading transcripts of video. Audio books are increasingly being used.
Perhaps, we have too many ways?
Perhaps, scouring the internet is not what I should be doing. Probably.
Today, I found this: Oxford Philosophy magazine | Faculty of Philosophy
Clickable downloads of all editions. The 16th edition includes: The Crop and the Soil: Reflections on
Modern Stoicism: Simon Shogry
The Practical Self: Anil Gomes
Just a few of far too many?
Yes. It can be overwhelming…
Do you feel the same way? How would participating in a Reading Group help?
Most of what we believe we believe on faith, even those beliefs we hold to be based on scientific fact. This assertion lies at the heart of William James’s essay ‘The Will to Believe’, originally delivered as a lecture and intended not so much as a defence of religion as an attack on anti-religion.
Any other suggestions are welcome. A few days left to vote…
[ FWIW, I voted for ‘The Death of the Author’ by Barthes. It was doing so well… ]
