A question for the readers
Please read through this post, I'd like some feedback.
Next year at school, for at least one semester, I'm going to be doing a study relating to the history of thought. It's based on the premise that the way people think and frame debates has changed over time, different techniques have developed, and new concepts have been "invented." I'm going to limit my study to a specific time period; three of the options I'm currently considering are the baroque (in music, philosophy, and architecture), the legalist tradition (Rousseau, Locke; revolving around the capitalist concept of the contract), and the rise and fall of structuralism in Europe.
My question is: does anyone who reads this weblog want to hear my progress once-in-a-while (over the summer and the school year) as I flesh out my thoughts on the topic? I promise to make my posts relatively easy to understand for someone without a philosophical background.
If I get three or more affirmative responses, I'll start doing it. Otherwise, I'll keep it to myself.
Sure thing, keep 'us' posted. I'm studying philosophy myself. I don't know you, you don't know me, but your study sounds challenging. I'm all for reading more about it.
of course!
Definitely. You don't know me -- I'm just a random blog lurker who comes here for the amusing links and good music recommendations -- but I couldn't possibly let you get away with not sharing your philosophical insights. I look forward to reading them.
Thanks everyone for the feedback! I'll keep you all posted on my progress.
so what happened to said updates?
They're coming… I want to think things through thoroughly before I post anything, but expect something in a week or so.
