German Philosophy Reading Group: Tobias and Andrew H are starting a reading group on understudied texts in the Post-Kantian tradition. The group will be a forum for staff and advanced students to discuss short texts that we feel are interesting but, for whatever reason, not well known. The aim is to look beyond the canon while honing our skills in close reading. The focus will be on German-language philosophy and possibly include texts unavailable in translation or that involve issues regarding translation, hence proficiency in German is helpful (but not a requirement).

We meet Tuesdays 12-1 (room TBD) in weeks where there is no Post-Kantian Seminar, with the possibility of going for lunch afterward. Tobias will be kicking things off Tuesday in week 1, January 9th, 12-1, with a short excerpt from one of Heidegger’s philosophical dialogues. Contact him for the reading and with any questions. Suggestions for future readings are welcome. The group is open to advanced UG and PG students as well as all staff.

Time: 4-6 p.m. Every Friday from Week 1 Spring Term

Location: FAB 2.33 (for the first and the fourth meetings on 12/01 and 02/02) and FAB 1.07 (for the other meetings)

Content:

Book 2: The Doctrine of Essence (Die Lehre vom Wesen)

Section 1: Essence as Reflection Within (Das Wesen als Reflexion in ihm selbst)

Chapter 1. Shine (Der Schein)

Chapter 2. The essentialities or the determinations of reflection (Die Wesenheiten oder die Reflexionsbestimmungen)

Chapter 3. Ground (Der Grund)

Format: We aim to read through and discuss the three chapters carefully and slowly together during the session, seeing how far we can go each time. Therefore, no specific text is assigned for each meeting, but you are encouraged to familiarise yourself with the text in advance.

This reading group is organised by Ying (ying.xue@warwick.ac.uk), Bruna (bruna.picas-i-prats.1@warwick.ac.uk) and Marco (Marco.Rienzi@warwick.ac.uk). Please get in touch with Ying to register your interest and keep updated.

Dear All,

We're delighted to announce the WMA Reading Group schedule for this term - Eve Poirier will be leading the sessions. The details are below:

Please note: in the run-up to this year's MindGrad conference, we will also be using this reading group to have some pre-reading sessions on the work of the keynote speakers. These will be valuable sessions for PG students to attend to familiarise themselves with the keynote speakers' work ahead of the conference. More details on this will be announced in due course.

WMA reading group: Montaigne on MEEP (Mind, Epistemology, Ethics & Political Philosophy)

Where/When: Cowling Room (S2.77), Tuesdays 16:00-17:00 in even weeks, starting in week 2.

A message from Eve: This term in the WMA reading group we will look at some Montaignian takes on topics in Mind, Epistemology, Ethics and Politics. Suitable for Montaigne beginners and experts, everyone is welcome. I will be reading from Donald Frame’s translation, of which there are hard copies available in the library. Get in touch with me (eve.poirier@warwick.ac.uk) if you need help finding the readings or want a digital copy.

We will meet in the Cowling Room (S2.77) at 16:00 on Tuesday in even weeks, starting on the 16^th. I promise it will be relatively light-hearted and fun, so please don’t be afraid to come along and discover the joys of Montaigne 😊
