  1. Hegel, Phenomenology of Spirit Adorno, Negative Dialectics Schiller, The Aesthetic Education of Man
  2. If you are interested in philosophy of social science, The Positivist Dispute in German Sociology is a good collection. It's an extended and thorough dialogue between Adorno, Habermas, Popper among others on the nature of social science.

    Yeah, it's not the transit IN Toronto that I'm worried about (which I know is pretty good), more the travel TO Toronto; I can't possibly afford a plane or a hotel since I'm without a source of income at the moment until I get there and get my stipend. Here's crossing my fingers.
  4. it's been a romp through the Wissenschaft der Logik and Wallace Stevens and then getting married and now tearing my hair out over housing. something near pure joy.

    Does anyone from U of T have experience with Grad House? I start in the fall and live in southern Ohio and don't own a car, so going apartment hunting really isn't an option and I was counting on Grad House. As of the last time I checked I'm 245 on the waitlist, and a few weeks ago I was in the 400s. Can I count on that to pan out or is it a lost cause?
  6. My sample was a close reading of a specific section of the Phenomenology of Spirit, and I didn't really use all that much secondary sources, except for mentioning in an endnote a couple of sources whose account of the section I found inadequate. And I did pretty well last season. So I wouldn't worry about it unless it's something that receives a lot of attention and for which not engaging the secondary literature would be obviously odd. So there's not a whole lot on what I wrote about, "Culture and its realm of actuality" in the Phenomenology, whereas, for example, writing a paper about Kant's Transcendental Deduction of the Categories and not engaging with Ameriks and Strawson and so forth would be odd.
  7. Yep. also really the 2nd critique bores me; so much of what informs continental philosophy comes to the fore in the 3rd critique, though.

    thanks a lot. i'd taken a look at the site but didn't notice the 'home ranger' you mentioned. and as of today i definitely will be attending U of T in the fall. pretty thrilled, if not about the moving logistics!
  10. anyone planning on declining Northwestern? i was told they still have several open offers not yet heard from
  11. wow this is all starting to look like a terrifying mess. in any case i plan on calling the DGS at the department i'm still waiting on tomorrow and asking where things stand and letting them know I have an offer that I'll need to accept the next day if I don't hear from them by a certain time. Would it be a good idea to mention that I would with certainty accept the offer if I got one?

    Hi all, it looks like I may end up at U of T. I live in the states and I don't have a car, and it wouldn't really be feasible for me to try and take a plane to Toronto to look for places, and it sounds like trying to take a weekend to do so anyways is not a sure bet and no one will rent to you without meeting you. Does anyone know of a good rental real estate agent in Toronto that I could get in touch with who could mitigate this?
  13. Have you considered Vanderbilt? also the funded master's Phil519 mentioned are a good option
