Subject: BHA: DPF reading schedule


Alan has wrapped up 2.3  This then is a reminder of the schedule of
discussions.   Apologies to anyone if I have got it wrong.


2.3  Contradiction I: Hegel & Marx  (Alan - wrapped up)
2.4  Contradiction II: Misunderstandings (Colin- forthcoming)
2.5  On the Materialist Diffraction of the Dialectic (Gary - forthcoming)
2.6  Dialectical Arguments & the Unholy Trinity (Ruth has completed this
and is waiting for the rest of us to speed up!)
2.7  Dialectical Motifs: Tina Formations, Mediations, concrete
Universality, etc (Howard E. I do not have a confirmation from Howard on
this, but am working on the assumption that it is ok)
2.8  On the Generalised Theory of the Dialectical Remark, the Failure of
Detachment and the Presence of the Past.  (There are no volunteers to lead
this section. (Can I allocate Hans E. for this????)-
2.9  Dialectical Critical Naturalism (no volunteer -Hans D.?)
2.10 Towards a Real Definition of Dialectic (no volunteer -Mervyn?)

If there is anyone else out there even remotely willing to have a go for
jaysussake get in touch. It's bloody big book and there is plenty to go
round. (Caroline? Tobin? Others?)    

Take home idea:

There are no egos or hierarchies here, only a *cyber-community* of humble
scholars patiently working through a complex text. True. 8^)
