Short notes I've made on some article/idea I liked.
Gelassenheit (Discourse on Thinking/Conversation on a Country Path) - Martin Heidegger
So far, my favourite piece among all the Heidegger I've read. Quick notes I made; 2023.
The Myth of Sisyphus - Albert Camus
Brief jottings. 2023.
A genealogy of Heidegger's metaphysics of science
A very nice breakdown of how Heidegger engages with contemporary philosophy of science, if I may say so myself. Written in 2021.
What is metaphysics? by Martin Heidegger
Notes made in 2021 on a piece by Heidegger.
Identity and individuality in classical and quantum physics (Steven French)
Notes I made in 2021 while leading a philosophy of science reading group on Discord.
Models and Reality - Hilary Putnam
Another very nice article by Putnam I read in 2020.
Collapse & Consciousness
Wrote this short piece in 2019, when I was in first year. Not sure how well it holds up, but it got put up in my college's science club's website back then.
Two Dogmas (Quine & Priest)
A slightly less amateur attempt (2019) at comparing certain ideas held by the two.
Meaning (Putnam, Wittgenstein, Quine)
A very amateur attempt (2017) at trying to compare the differing notions of meaning held by the three.
On What There Is - W.V.O. Quine
2017.
The Meaning of 'Meaning' - Hilary Putnam (1994)
Back in 2016, when I was in high school, this was one of the first philosophical essays I read and made notes on.
