Phil,
John and I have a history of misunderstanding and annoying each other; so
when I read his original note I had no plans to join the discussion.
However, later in conversation with my wife I mentioned Charles Taylor and
she said she had heard of him and thought I might enjoy reading his book.
Then, after reading the review Eric posted, I ordered the book. However, I
am still feeling doubtful about the advisability of my joining the
discussion; so don't hold up the start of your project for me.
Lawrence

As far as I know, I am the only one who has responded to John's
suggestion of working through Taylor's _Sources of the Self_. The book
is rather intimidating, both in its size and scope, yet also quite
readable even to those who are not students of philosophy. I would like
to encourage listers who are interested in the topic of the modern self
to consider taking part in the discussion. My guess is that the book is
in many libraries. Also, John has made an excellent choice in choosing
the first chapter for discussion. It is accessible and thought
provoking. I have asked John to hold off on the discussion so that
others can join us. If people would like to join us, we can wait. So
please let us know if you would like to join us. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Phil Enns
