Hello Everybody,
I am starting an existentialism reading group in San Francisco. I was thinking that we'd start with Kirkegaard (either fear and trembling or a sickness unto death), and then kind of work our way through Existentialism as a Humanism and finally wade into Being and Nothingness. Please let me know if any of you are interested in joining,
Nick

Mon, January 23, 2006 - 6:32 PMThat is a wonderful idea. Too bad I am on the other side of the country. I definitely think Kirkegaard is probably the best author to start with.
I am currently taking a class on existentialism, and we actually started with Descartes (not that I am suggesting that!) -

Mon, February 27, 2006 - 12:49 PMHaha why is it most people happen to be on the west coast where as i am stuck on the east coast? It's some random conspiracy to require me to go to the internet for interesting conversation i know it is.... The only quote from descartes that comes to mind when i here his name is "De Omnibus Dubitandom" roughly All is to be doubted, but i ran across that one in <i>Beyond Good And Evil</i>
