I want to note my support of this. I'm a little skeptical of slow readings.
They're great in theory, but in practice they tend to bog down. I'm very
much interested inthis topic though. Themes of authenticity / inauthenticity
have seen a lot of action on this list, and they also happen to be themes
that figure strongly in BT Div. II. I, for one, would take an interest
in further discussion of that part of Heidegger's work. I'm not sure, though,
that a fully distinct discussion of it is warranted. It's hard to get
enough interest in a slow reading to support the investment of time and
energy. Do others share my opinion?
