[A very useful introduction to Husserlian phenomenology] 9 Weekly Reading List and Tutorial Questions This week by week reading list gives you: the required tutorial readings, in most cases a selection from Moran & Mooney, The Phenomenology Reader; the recommended secondary reading; and a number of further readings. Every week: you must read the first of these; you ought to read the second; you will get extra brownie points if you have a look at some of the others. The primary reading can be very hard to 46
follow. Reading the secondary literature as you go will help you to understand the primary literature and will give you ideas of things to say about it. When it comes to writing your essays and revising for exams, you must read a significant amount of material from the further reading sections. If you don’t, your answers will appear superficial. You should also make use of the general reading list, there’s lots of useful material there. For each topic, I have starred (*) three further readings that I think are useful places to start. Some secondary readings largely historical (i.e. ‘what is the best way to understand Heidegger’s claim that P?’), while others largely systematic (i.e. ‘Heidegger claims that P, but is P true?’). It is possible to take either approach with any topic. However, it is worth considering that the two approaches are related—a good principle to adopt when interpreting a philosopher is to try to understand their claims in a way which makes them plausible. There is a set of questions for each week’s tutorial. Think hard about these and write answers to them. You need to arrive at the tutorial prepared to speak on the topic, and this is much easier if you have something written down. Lectures 2-4 are the essay topics. Lectures 5-12 are the exam topics. The exam will contain 6 questions, drawn from each of these topics, of which you can answer any two. However, it is important to bear in mind that (i) the topics are often closely interrelated; (ii) questions may be on any aspect of the material covered. As much as possible from this reading list is either available online, or has been specially digitised by the library. In the majority of cases where this has not been possible, items have been added to the short loan library. O source available online D digitised source available at library S short loan There is a vast amount of literature on Phenomenology. Just because something is not on the reading list does not mean that it isn’t worth reading. So explore. However, stick to reputable sources—well-known journals, books from academic presses—don’t just copy out what some chump you’ve never heard of says on an obscure website. It will almost certainly be crap. Lecture 1 (Week 1): Introduction to Phenomenology There is no required reading or tutorial this week. However, you might like to have a look at the following: Cerbone, D. 2006. Understanding Phenomenology. Chesham: Acumen, Introduction. Gallagher S. & Zahavi, D. 2012.
