Notes I've made on various philosophical texts I read over the years.
Critique of Pure Reason - Immanuel Kant
Up until the end of the first division. 2024.
Nietzsche & Philosophy - Gilles Deleuze
Deleuze's very imaginative interpretive work on Nietzsche's ideas. 2023.
Philosophical Investigations - Ludwig Wittgenstein (1953)
Some notes on Wittgenstein's masterwork, which I read with my friend Satbhav; from October 2022 to October 2023.
Being and Time - Martin Heidegger (1927)
I read this across 2022, following along Hubert Dreyfus' lectures and making these quite detailed notes. It was excruciating and rewarding in equal parts, and I ended up stopping after chapter II of division two. Maybe I'll finish it one day...
On the Genealogy of Morality - Friedrich Nietzsche (1887)
I was leading a reading group on Nietzsche for a few months in 2021 on the social media forum Discord. These were notes I made for the benefit of the participants.
Twilight of the Idols - Friedrich Nietzsche (1889)
More notes from the Nietzsche reading group I led.
The Birth of Tragedy - Friedrich Nietzsche (1872)
More notes from the Nietzsche reading group I led.
Karl Marx - Allen Wood (1981)
Notes made by myself and my friend Satbhav Voleti on Allen Wood's excellent book. We finished around half of it, I think. You can find this, along with his own (highly insightful) philosophical explorations, on his website here.
Phenomenology of Perception - Merleau-Ponty
By far one of the most influential reads of my life. I read it once in 2019 and then again in 2020. My notes reflect the second read, in which I used Hubert Dreyfus' lectures as a crutch.
Retrieving Realism -Hubert Dreyfus (2015)
2019. The book that got me started on my journey in phenomenology.
From Stimulus To Science - W.V. Quine (1992)
2019.
In Search Of Reality - Bernard d'Espagnat (1983)
2019.
Consciousness Explained - Daniel Dennett (1991)
2018.
Word and Object - W.V. Quine (1960)
Amateurish notes I made, 2017.
