A GLASSARY of Key(less) Terms


Possibilities


As we begin to read the various books for the course, at our uneven paces, it seemed to me to be worthwhile to contribute possible "terms" that we may not be interested in working up, but that would be helpful for others of us who haven't decided on particular topics just yet. In other words, after reading *Birth of Tragedy*, I had a list of several ideas, none of which I was interested in pursuing. Nonetheless, someone may be more interested in them than I was. So here they are, below.

As you start making your way through the various texts, keep track of possible topics, and if you decide not to use them, then e-mail them to me, and I'll keep a regularly updated list of possible terms that want to be discussed. If you find something here that you'd like to work on, let me know, and I'll pull it from the list. There's no reason why we can't have competing/completing accounts of similar terms, but we should probably be working towards coverage, at least initially. You can e-mail me by accessing the link below:
