I've never been to the Tuileries; hope to go there some day and read S&Z there :-)<br /><br />Here's the tentative lineup for my course: <br /><br />Nietzsche (mainly Genealogy of Morals, maybe also a little Beyond Good and Evil); <br /><br />Camus (The Stranger, the Myth of Sisyphus, to set the mood for the course);<br /><br />Kafka (The Metamorphosis);<br /><br />Husserl (I need to do some rereading here to refresh my knowledge); <br /><br />Heidegger (selections from S&Z, The Origin of the Work of Art);<br /><br />Tolstoy (The Death of Ivan Ilyich, and maybe also the chapters from War and Peace depicting the death of Prince Andrey); <br /><br />Sartre (selections from Being and Nothingness, Existentialism is a Humanism, and No Exit)<br /><br />I'm sticking to what I think know best. I also find Merleau-Ponty and Kierkegaard intriguing, but I don't feel I know them enough to teach them. <br />Nobelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655577410721103577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-12837631793133441132013-11-13T14:36:45.419-08:002013-11-13T14:36:45.419-08:00Pleasant memories of sitting in the Jardin des Tui...Pleasant memories of sitting in the Jardin des Tuileries year after year, reading and rereading S&Z in one of those perfectly designed iron chairs, feet up, Emmental and ham Baguettes and a bottle of cheap but good wine down by the side of the chair..... the next day I would have to reread half of what I had read the day before because of the wine....happy reading, what else do you have on the course?
