Hi Lock and Key buddies! Is it okay if we start on the first day of May? (Yes, agad agad haha!) Joanna has volunteered to create the thread once we have agreed on the schedule. ;)
Even though many have read Bloodlines already, I havent, and I want someone to read with me, share thoughts and stuff to motivate me to read it.

Hi DC, lurker rights na lang muna. Got some more things on my plate kasi. thanks for the offer. mag-download na lang ako ng audiobook :)
Can I lurk? The subject matter's really interesting but I don't think I can be a faithful buddy, what with exams agad next week and all (apparently my life is a series of never-ending exams but there you go)

Sali ako :)
Here's an overview of the
The Great Ideas of Philosophy
to whet your appetite :)Scope:
This course of 60 lectures (trimmed down to 50 in the audio book) is intended to introduce the student to main currents and issues in philosophical thought from the founding of the subject in ancient Greece to more contemporary studies. The lectures are organized around three abiding problems: the problem of knowledge (epistemology and metaphysics), the problem of conduct (ethics and moral philosophy), and the problem of governance (political science and law). Each of these has by now evolved into a specialized subject treated rigorously in professional texts and journals. But even in these more technical projections, the problems remain largely as they were when the schools of Plato and Aristotle dealt with them and imposed on them the features they still retain.
More than a series of lectures on the great philosophers, this course is designed to acquaint the student with broader cultural and historical conditions that favored or opposed a given philosophical perspective. Attention is paid to the influence that scientific developments had on the very conception of philosophy and on the scientific rejection of “metaphysics” that took place when the “two cultures” began to take separate paths.
Needless to say, the vast terrain that philosophy seeks to cover extends far beyond what can be explored in 60 lectures—or in 200 lectures! Entire areas of active scholarship have been ignored. But still other areas have been more carefully examined than is customary in an introductory course: philosophy of law, philosophy and aesthetics, evolutionary and psychoanalytic theory. The hope and expectation is that, informed by these lectures, the interested student will press on, will fashion a fuller curriculum of study, and will return to these lectures for the more general framework within which the specialized knowledge ultimately must find a place.
