Folk in #philosophy a question for yinz. I always think of the canon as stuff there’s a normative expectation that someone finishing an undergrad degree (or at about that level) be familiar with. So it’s primarily a teaching category. Does this accord with your sense of the term?
Aye that is the sort of thing I have in mind! For the record I don't mean a normative expectation that you yourself share, I just meant that there is in the community such a normative expectation.
