As Chris with Kant, I will be tackling the major works of prominent phenomenologist and existentialist thinkers this summer and all interested are encouraged to join me. I am putting this out there (or up here) to note interest and if I have any takers I can disclose my plan and reading list. These are difficult and influential contemporary thinkers and I will be doing almost nothing but reading. I can use any and all perspective that any individual (regardless of understanding or education/class year) committed to reading them would offer. Text to be read include: Ideas, Crisis of European Sciences..., Being and Time, Being and Nothingness, Phenomenology of Perception, Sense and Nonsense, Humanism and Terror, Ethic of Ambiguity and lots of fiction.

Interest in one or two of the texts instead of my list as a whole would be more than helpful to me.
Thanks!

Also, I am currently doing preparatory reading for this summer; the likes of much Kierkegaard and Nietzsche included if anyone is interested in reading with me.

I will most likely be interested in reading Merleau-Ponty with you, so let me know if/when you do those readings.

I really want to read Humanism and Terror. But I really want to get through Kant, even though I haven't started. I plan on really engaging that project after I get through Early Modern.

The path I am taking is Kant -> Hegel -> Heidegger -> Badiou
