21. Ferdinand de Saussure’s Course in General Linguistics — It’s nice to read more than the usual excerpts from this. Especially interesting presentation of the problem of synchrony & diachrony and the resulting split in the study of language. Love the goofy little diagrams. https://t.co/ckZTw8bzlz

@jedp00ned I've been reading Lukacs' "Young Hegel" -- although it's a pretty weird secondary text. H.S. Harris deals with it in the first chapter of "Hegel's Development: Towards the Sunlight" and Ludwig Siep uses it as the key to his book on "Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit."

30. Emily Dickinson’s Complete Poems — The greatest American poet of her century – and the patron saint of dashes-as-punctuation 👍 https://t.co/GmHANsT0CU

17. Kentaro Miura’s Berserk Deluxe vol. 8 — The beginning of the Millennium arc. A slower pace than previous volumes, but a nice opening to the next turn in the story with its expanding cast of characters, in addition to a thematic shift toward the fantastical. https://t.co/E5Ed2vGQPk

@justindclemens This looks fascinating! Are you familiar with Yates's "Art of Memory"? If so, how do they compare?

63. Lydia Moland’s Hegel’s Aesthetics — An exceptionally clear commentary and guide to Hegel’s ‘Lectures on Fine Art,’ which shows a a great attention to the details of his argument, art’s place in his system, and the import of his aesthetic theory for the later history of art. https://t.co/QxnUllRGvY

28. Claude Lévi-Strauss’ Wild Thought — Structuralism at its best, attempting to uncover the categories & logical relations that underpin human cultural practices—putting the dialectics of synchrony & diachrony at the fore of this search for the conditions of social history. https://t.co/ddGKpd9xUw

@moonbeeaam Visual art specifically? Hegel's Aesthetics and Ranciere's Aisthesis are pretty incredible -- but Benjamin's Trauerspiel study and Auerbach's Mimesis are probably my favourite works on literary art.

60. Allen Speight’s Hegel, Literature and the Problem of Agency — A peculiar work of analytic Hegelianism that attempts to extract a philosophy of agency from the literary references of the PhG’s “Spirit” chapter (without thereby “doing” literary studies, the author insists) https://t.co/t56kyinNcA

@14JUN1995 Yes, but I give it another decade or two before the rest of Hegel scholarship catches up with Gillian Rose
