I am back from vacation -- 10 days or so on the East Coast of Canada (New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia) -- and it is time for another re-organization of Hegel's Hotel.
I will be adjusting the old Table Of Contents to reflect this new edition of The Table of Contents, ASAP. (This could take up to a week or so.)
I will also give you a brief overview of expected essays to come in the near future.
Essays are organized in two ways in Hegel's Hotel: 1. chronologically from newest to oldest essays (in the 'Most Recent Papers' section although the chronological order is not perfect); and 2. by subject matter and logic of presentation of which I will start to create a new classification system as of today.

It has taken me about 3 years to write the number of papers that can now be found on the various blogsites of Hegel's Hotel. I estimate that it will take me about another 3 years to finish Hegel's Hotel. Not quite up to the length of time it took Kant to finish his classic philosophical treatise, 'The Critique of Pure Reason', which I think took Kant about 9 years to write, working, I believe, pretty well full time on it.
Anyways, my treatise has a long way to go to approach anywhere near Kant's idolized standard. I do not pretend to have the intellect of Kant or any of the great philosophers but by the time I am through, if my work reaches the level of my own realistic self-ideal, I would my work to be one of, if not the, greatest integrative philosophy projects in the history of Western philosophy...
But...'Down David, down'...I am perhaps letting my egotism and narcissism get the better of me at the expense of a more humble approach that might be more appropriate...
Still, I remember something that Dolly Parton said on the Larry King Show which I liked and will now paraphrase to the best of my memory:
'Sometimes you have to blow your own horn to let people know you are coming'.
Anyways, at this point in time I will target March 3rd, 2012 as my completion date, my 57th birthday, and the 105th anniversary of Freud and Jung meeting for the first time (March 3rd, 1907).
(Google... DGBN Philosophy...to get to my largest network of visible blogsites...)
Let hope and optimism reign supreme for the rest of 2009, despite all of our economic and political traumacies, trials and challenges these days.
