[Original Announcement]
As already announced, on Monday (June 15th), Jon Cogburn and I will attempt something that has never been done before in the history of attempting things (or doing things in any sort of progression), i.e., we will try to read a book together and post our respective comments and observations. Please, consider this post an official invitation for you to join the fun. If you have a blog and would like to participate by posting your own observations, please let me or Jon know and we will link your post to this thread. If you don’t have a blog or you feel that the comment space is too small for your larger than life observations, comments, and so forth, feel free to email me at mikh.emelianovATgmail.com and I will post them here as well.
I am posting a linked picture of Braver’s book at the top right corner of the main page. This post will serve as a gathering post for all the posts connected to the discussion of the book so that it is easier to find all of the related discussions and so forth. Just click on the picture.

[...] As an amateur Kant enthusiast, I find the setup to be quite interesting. Braver brings up Kant (a “name” and that should please the continental crowd) and a problem (yay for “problems”) therefore already signaling that he is going to doing a brave (sorry, couldn’t resist) balancing act, soliciting hits from both analytic and continental folks. The first two chapters of the book deal with defining the issue of realism/anti-realism and discussing Kant, so it should be clear how this project develops from the opening 60 or so pages.

Very interesting… good luck in the attempt and I will follow the reading with interest.
Not really my business, but I think you should consider renaming it the Bravest Reading Group.
Thanks, Nate – we’ll have to wait and see how brave this group is actually going to be in the end…
