Reading Group: (First and Second) Cartesian Meditations

Let's read Cartesian Meditations!

Husserl's Cartesian Meditations is a great introduction to phenomenology. They were originally delivered as lectures, so it's not a long text and it's not so hard, but it requires concentration (and discussing it in group can help and be fun). For our first meeting, I propose to have read the Introduction, and the First and Second Meditations, so we can clarify it and comment it together.

I can give a brief presentation on Descartes’ Meditations on First Philosophy (an important reference for this book), if you'd like, and then we can all summarize and discuss Husserl's first two meditations. If there's enough interest, the plan is to hold a second meeting on July 17th, covering the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Meditations.

Husserl's Cartesian Meditations can be easily found in English online, or feel free to message me and I can send it you.
The same goes for the optional reading, Descartes’ Meditations on First Philosophy.

See you! :-)
