    Whew! Buckle up because we're about to embark on a real adventure. This week we're beginning Sartre's masterpiece Being and Nothingness. We'll be interspersing our reading with other phenomenologists as we go (so we don't burn out). This week we're discussing the pre-reflective cogito, the in-itself, and the for-itself. Enjoy!

  • Futa Helu - Towards a Theory of Awareness or Understanding

    This week we're looking at Futa Helu's essay Towards a Theory of Awareness or Understanding. Our favorite sections relate to his idea of the rhythmic nature of the universe. Our least favorite spot regards (unfortunately) all of his thoughts on beauty. Enjoy!
