UH? What!There are a couple of new additions to the Wish List! Mostly continental philosophy of religion and philosophical theology.
One thing is becoming crystal clear to me: I am WAAAAYYYYYYY behind in the reading for this area. Unlike Anglo-American philosophy, continental philosophy is heavily historical and literary. While the analytical tradition that tends to dominate in the US/UK is heavily mathematical and scientific.
This means that it is far easier to "catch up" with the analytical tradition than it is with the continental.
Of course, I chose the more difficult path. . .sigh. . .

Father, perhaps you have a better handle on this than I.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you start?
There's so much out there to read. As a former Philosophy graduate student (for a while) and as someone who hopes to be a graduate student again (in Philosophy or Theology), but also as a more general question, it's hard to know what to read and in what order.
And it's also difficult to think you'll ever make much progress towards reading enough... since there's so much out there that is canonical and since you're also responsible for being up to date with the latest in one's field... and that stuff is cranked out at an incredible rate (especially since everyone has to write a book to get tenure).
Any ideas? (Does the question even make sense?)
Are you familiar with Antonio Rosmini? If not, will you seek to become more familiar now that he has been exonerated (and beatified!)?
