Our esteemed co-blogger Testudineous recently proffered the idea that we resume our dialogue from that wonderful summer of 2000...one that was steeped in philosophical conjecture, historical reflection, and educational necessity. The initial step was to revisit Kierkegaard's Fear and Trembling, effectively rekindling that feeling of academic growth and thoughtful expansion. In fact, as I indicated in the very first post , this place...this little area of the blogosphere....is one that is to build community through dialogue, and I can think of no better way to serve this purpose than to....as Testud put it...begin again. You will find a list of authors/works that we will visit over the next year in the left column of the blog. Those included are there as an extension of the original list from 2000...with a couple of additions thrown in. This list isn't exhaustive, but is one that will give a broad and specific look at various areas of thought and word that have shaped current thinking and action. The next author/work that we will investigate is Hegel's Philosophy of History....it is long and dense, but we'll get through it as best we can. I want to emphasize and make clear that this isn't a task of obligation. Those who are interested in participating can...the idea here is growth through reflection and dialogue...and the process should be one of joy and casual exploration. So....we begin, again...next stop Hegel....with the deadline for a post set for March 15. Enjoy.

I never knew Sartre was a bellringer in Paris as well.
