it’s a pretty standard list of the major works of major authors. but, i have found, there is a reason for this! the general rule would be that of the authors listed pretty much everything by them is worth reading. leibniz gets the ??? b/c i still haven't had my Leibniz Moment yet. and obviously there are omissions: Kant, for instance.

i guess one theme i’m interested in would be, perhaps, Production and Reproduction. or maybe it's the theme that i came to be interested in over time. hopefully this will keep you busy for a while. for a more acceleration-specific bibliography i'll comb the cosmotech thread & elsewhere. that will be my next project.
