Half  and Partial Read List 2008-2009

1. Thomas More ‘Utopia’ MP3 file useful (Mum’s Philosophy Library for the Researcher in Mum and Me who will do it regardless and set own Agenda Questions etc and proceed how we like [within reason that is]

2. Dostoevsky ‘The Idiot’ (Mums, part of her massive shelf of Russian Literature)

3. Orwell Essays

4. Kant Very Short Introduction (brain exhausted despite Introductory nature of Text by Roger Scruton)

5. The Next American Essay from our Yankee pals  overseas.

6. Mary Douglas ‘How Institutions think’ ( a rather horrid picture on the front, not very nicely if picture frontipiece is anything to go by)

7. The Seven Habits of Effective People Steven Covey

8. The Rules of Work

9. Political Philosophy Anthology Blackwell Goodin and Petitt

10. Contemporary Political Philosophy Companion (programme subject to change and needs of ego)

11. Sources of the Self Charles Taylor (reply to research draft) READ

The latter List is one subject to change. My Partial Reads List is at least 20 books strong maybe reflecting my morale and effect philosophy has had on my Reading Programme. (that is, combine with hefty numbers of light Novels of  Quality as input affects output). I need to get the numbers up without resorting to depressing demoralising utilitarian calculus.
