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).

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.
