Quick thought.
We know that Foucault was suspicious of both the idea of a State and of =
an Opposition. A few friends of mine and I have applied Foucault's =
reading to philosophical thought. We've started an informal philosophy =
discussion group that, rather than discussing readings from the canon =
(or even the anti-canon, like Foucault, Deleuze, Lyotard, etc.) we're =
going to be discussing ideas from outside the system of anti-canon and =
canon, such as Tibetan philosophy, etc. We hope it will allow us to =
develop a more profound philosophical autonomy from the whole canonical =
system (as in the canon-anti-canon binary).
On a separate note, the object of the club is for us to all get =
postmodern vertigo. The faculty member sponsoring the club once engaged =
in nearly a week of discussion of the idea of time with a friend. He was =
rather disoriented for two weeks afterward.
Sadly, the club is, at this point, entirely composed of men. Can anyone =
think of a few (preferably very short) texts or excerpts from texts that =
might make for some interesting reading? It doesn't necessarily have to =
be non-Western philosophy (or even necessarily =
non-canon-or-anti-canon)--at this point we're all brainstorming.
Thanks :)
