same but for reading "phenomenology of spirit"
(For fellow academics): I've said this before but if u have some good colleagues, I can't recommend a writing group enough. 4 of us meet every 3 wks, where 2 of us share some writing (it can be 2 pgs or 30), so u r only on the hook every 6 weeks. One of the greatest joys of my professional life.
