		<description><![CDATA[Hi Rose, just stumbled upon your blog while looking up Russell&#039;s History of Western Philosophy and quite enjoyed reading your posts.

However, it struck me when I saw your reading list and your plan - there&#039;s a character in Sartre&#039;s novel Nausea, who has taken up on the world of knowledge and started reading everything in the city library, from A to Z, jumping from topics like Archery to Architecture... Sartre is, I think, ridiculing this character through his alter ego in the novel, and doing it in a obvious manner - but I actually quite liked him and often think of him in my own endeavors - a man who wants to learn and not miss up on valuable deeds of his predecessors is bound to have a structure, devise a plan and go to arms! It&#039;s like a battle against a great cloud of ignorance and a chase to satisfy insatiable thirst for knowledge.

This just appeared in my mind, since I wanted to suggest a change in your plan, concerning Sartre - Nausea instead of Being and Nothingness (since it is a far more pleasurable book, a novel and not a purely philosophical piece upon which Heidegger famously laughed at).


Good luck with your plan, it is a tough one !]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I remember reading Gilgamesh in high school and thinking, &quot;Holy crap, some of that crazy s- in the Bible might have actually happened!&quot;  I imagine Mr. Smith&#039;s reaction to his reading of the Great Flood to be something similar, but greatly magnified.  I&#039;d probably tear my clothes off, too, in his position.  Was he, I wonder, a religious man?]]></description>
