Fall 2008 Classes!
Here’s what I’ll be working on this semester:
- Wittgenstein and Kripke with John Deigh
- A first year seminar (covering topics like philosophy of language and mind) with Adam Pautz
- Indian Philosophy with Stephen Phillips
- Sanskrit with Harzer Edeltraud
- Grader for Jeff Leon’s Medical Ethics undergraduate section
If I have any free time (ha!) I may try to do some reading with Stephen Phillips and another graduate student also studying Indian philosophy. The reading we’ll do in my Sanskrit class (eventually) is the Ramayana, which, while interesting, isn’t what I’m aiming to study.
I’ve also discovered the amazing UT Austin rec center is directly across the street (okay, diagonally) from the philosophy building. This semester should see a leaner ck emerge from daily bikes to campus, coupled with swimming and weights! Er, if not leaner, more fit (I could hardly get more thin).
At this point, I haven’t decided what to do with Arbitrary Marks. I still want to keep it as a sort of writing journal, but I may be more selective about how much “free thinking” I do here. I have some ideas in mind, though, for a blog schedule that will augment my studies and prove enjoyable for those of you who pop by, so stay tuned.
