[Textop-en-phil] Welcome, and first steps for pilot project

[Philippe MARTIN]

Hi everyone,

A wiki seems an adequate tool. 


> (2) ... Feel free to suggest other works not listed.

http://www.lewrockwell.com/hoppe/hoppe4.html because 
1) it permits to introduce some interesting topics although
   some of them are (unfortunately) segregationist,
2) I have begun to work on it.
However, Hoppe's argumentation is weak!


> (3) ... do you want to use the work I've done on Hobbes' *Leviathan*,
> as a starting point?

I'd prefer ideas/topics/texts much more modern: from the few dozens 
pages I have read, Hobbes' ideas (or Locke's ideas, and hence may be
other philosophers of the same period) nowadays seem annoyingly 
obvious or naive. (At least I felt so).


> (4) ... please create a user page using your own real name on the
> wiki something (accurate) about yourself, if you don't mind...

That may be interesting.
