Hanging on for Dear Life...

Fraser - glad to hear that your trip went well. I hope to catch some of the details at some point. If you care to, feel free to post any highlights on the blog.

As for the game plan, I'm a little bogged down in the near-term with studying obligations. I think I'll find that I actually have more time to read once I start work and get into the groove. That being said, I plan on getting through Maritain first (probably a little more manageable for me) and in the meantime I will be sure to pick up a copy of Clarke's One and the Many. Regardless of where I'm at, I want to encourage you guys to plow forward (don't wait on me), and I will do my best to keep up. I definitely don't want to let this project die and hope that we can continue on our quest for enlightenment.

Hope summer (or late Spring) is treating both of you well. I'll be in touch. Stay classy San Diego.

Yikes

The very appropriate blog description makes it sound like we're biting off more than we can chew and indeed we are, so let's press on. Now is an appropriate time for me to issue another disclaimer about my lack of knowledge in this area, so in good conscience I must defer the responsibility of 'most of the work' that was assigned in the blog description.

As to what we read next, here is the order as we originally set out:

Philosopy 101-Kreeft
Intro to Philosophy-Maritain
Socratic Logic-Kreeft
The One and the Many-Clarke

If we can commit to getting through all of them, then this is the order I'd recommend. If we can't realistically expect to get through all of them, then maybe we should skip the Socratic Logic and get right to The One and the Many, although if we have time it would be good to get the foundational stuff down before tackling it. It's your guys' call--I'm going to read them all either way.
