Editorial notes:
In February 2013, Shai adds Evernote to his suite of repositories. This is an application designed specifically for note-taking, organising, task lists and archiving. This proves to be the ideal tool for him to better control his ever-growing research notes, stored primarily up to this point, in handwritten notebooks and documents stored in his Google drive.
Between February 2013 and January 2015, Shai uses Evernote to document 128 entries.
The post below is significant for a number of reasons:
1. It lists a wide range of philosophical books Shai had read over a period of nearly 16 months (between March 2013 and May 2014), starting with early Greek philosophy and ending with what Shai refers to as “contemporary philosophers“.
2. It is the first mention Shai makes of his idea of developing a Bibliom, a term which recurs 4 more times in future posts. The term is originally coined to describe a complete body of text, and in using the term here, Shai is likely referring to his intention to create lists representing the ultimate reading references in any particular domain, in this case, Philosophy. In later posts, Shai refers also to his intention to develop a Literature Bibliom.
