A bit of fun: suggest some really *hard to read* philosophy papers. I'm designing a course where we go through readings deliberately chosen to be dense and difficult, and discuss techniques for reading and engaging with them.
I'll start: most things by McDowell. In particular
- on the sense and reference of a proper name
- de re senses
Anything by Sellars, e.g. "Language as Thought and as Communication". First encounter as an undergrad sure felt like a sisyphean task. "Phenomenalism" would also work great.
Johanna Seibt has tough papers too, they tend to be clearly written but so dense and technical that reading takes lots of time and effort. E.g. "What is a process? Modes of occurrence and forms of dynamicity in General Process Theory"
