It has been an interesting summer so far. Classes went well, especially my logic which had a very interactive group. Meanwhile I have spent some time learning more about psychology than I planned. I also have not gotten as far as I expected in Slavoj Zizek's book since it refers to so much else that I had to go investigate in order to follow what he was saying. Most especially it led me to look up Alain Badiou. In doing so I discovered our library had nothing of his works - which looked pretty extensive on Amazon. I ordered and received his book Being and Event which I have also started and have found immensely interesting as well. Meanwhile, inquiring about the library getting some of his works ended up with about twenty new volumes all of which have been put on hold for me as they arrived. I have dabbled in a bunch of them. Tonight reading Badiou's Number and Numbers. These are all too interesting. I clearly have a project to work on the rest of the summer.
