In this second of three sessions in our workshop, we will be focusing upon the topics set out below.

I will be presenting some key ideas, issues, perspectives and useful bits of advice during the session. These include:

• Study as an iterative and cumulative process
• Starting/starting over points for studying philosophy
• Making and assessing progress
• Notetaking and annotation as practices
• Style, structure, and genre of philosophical works
• Finding, assessing, and using secondary sources
• Concerns about translations
• Distinguishing an author's position from others
  

We will have plenty of time for Q&A and discussion during this session. You should feel free to ask questions at any point during the seminar, and you can use your microphone or the chat to do so.
