:*Continue track on either or both: naturalism / phenomenology. With naturalism, we could give Haug a chance, but we can also add in material around him from critics of naturalism, for example. With phenomenology, well, this is just some textbook material. We could look for a more scholarly treatment that focuses on Husserl and also something that starts to tell the story, how existential and hermeneutic phenomenology come about. For each step, we should try to find the latest critical sources with emphasis on methodology. Please look for material and copy me on anything you can find. I have things on these topics, but I would like to use the seminar format to see if we can collectively find better and more recent material. This is also a test of our research skills! | :*Continue track on either or both: naturalism / phenomenology.

SEP 13
- Readings on Method
- Continue track on either or both: naturalism / phenomenology. With naturalism, we could give Haug a chance, but we can also add in material around him from critics of naturalism, for example. With phenomenology, well, this is just some textbook material. We could look for a more scholarly treatment that focuses on Husserl and also something that starts to tell the story, how existential and hermeneutic phenomenology come about. For each step, we should try to find the latest critical sources with emphasis on methodology. Please look for material and copy me on anything you can find. I have things on these topics, but I would like to use the seminar format to see if we can collectively find better and more recent material. This is also a test of our research skills!
