Reading Day
Objective
- Describe the life and philosophy of Soren Kierkegaard.
- Evaluate the choice within Either/Or between the aesthetic and the ethical life.
- Prepare yourself to go see THE HOBBIT this weekend, if you're a classy cool person.
- No Written Warm-Up
- Reading: Either/Or
- Reminders:
- Your reading is due on Monday. If you did not pick up a copy yesterday, you can find it up front by Friedrich.
- If you didn't get the notes yesterday, here is a copy of the PowerPoint thus far. Basically, just know the Kierkegaard section.
- You should highlight and use margin notes. The second part of this reading - The Diapsalmata - is a little different. Lots of short segments instead of big meaty connected paragraphs.
- You do NOT need to note every single section.
- If you have some summary / highlight / notation on about 1/3 or 1/4 of them, you're in about the right area. You want stuff to pull out in discussion, but you don't need to note *everything.*
- This isn't an easy read, but it's important. Dig deep on it. In particular, think about the overall message of A's lifestyle. Is he a jerk? Smart? Crazy? Wise? What's worth keeping from his observations? Does anything show him to be in a crisis / despair?
