Any interest? As to the logistics, I'm thinking that each participant would pick one text.

I would be interested, right now I am in a Contemporary Political Philosophy class. Maybe in like a month or so once the semester ends, I have a lot of reading for school right now. Let me know.

S78,

Since you mentioned him in another post, when you get to Soren (gotta love Soren) you can probably count me in. In the meantime I might "audit" the Club - depends on my time factor. With this forum and poker, I have no time for work (let alone other things). Thank goodness I own the company.

I don't have the time to participate, but two short but really interesting philosophical works are:

Descartes' First Meditation
Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding, Chapter 4 (Skeptical Doubts Concerning the Operations of the Understanding)

Of course, there's lots of good stuff to read, but these two arguments were pretty mind-blowing when I first encountered them.

I'm interested and I should have the time to do it. Sounds like fun.

I'm interested.

My preference is for analytical philosophy but I'll give anything a go.

I'd also be happy to participate if I find the time.
