Comments by "John Warner" (@johncrwarner) on "5 Philosophy Books I'm Reading in 2023 (and an Announcement!)" video.

  1. For the festive holidays I received a few books. Several I would group as philosophy books in the traditional sense of those words - «Wittgenstein's Antiphilosophy» by Alain Badiou and «What is Philosophy?» by Deleuze and Guattari (which is supposed to be very tricky). I also have some books on “information management“ in a computer sense - mostly focused around computer pioneers and their thinking. This is background reading for developing a non-linear reading notes methodology / approach to reading. I am doing a reading project for my sixtieth year which ends in April 2023. For that project I am reading books published in 1962 the year of my birth. And this therefore includes some philosophy. J. L. Austin who died in 1960 had two lecture series brought to press in 1962 and the John Macquarrie translation of Heidegger's «Sein und Zeit» was published. Also a translation of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji into English (in eight volumes with parallel original text, English and modern Punjabi) so that is a little bit to work on.
