  Philosophy 12

  • Study for Friday's metaphysics test. Review all the way from the definition of metaphysics to today's discussion of existentialism and my defence of free will.
  • "Free will and determinism" question notes: 
    • For Thursday, read p.p. 118, 119 and 120/121. Create two questions for each page (consider 120/121 as one page) that focus on the key ideas of that page. Because these are notes, you don't have to cover everything. Supply a short answer for each question. 2 questions x 3 pages = 6 question/answer notes in total. 
    • For Wednesday, read p.p. 114/115, 116 and 117. Create two questions for each page (consider 114/115 as one page) that focus on the key ideas of that page. Because these are notes, you don't have to cover everything. Supply a short answer for each question. 2 questions x 3 pages = 6 question/answer notes in total. 
  • Today was our second day on metaphysics. Review the Powerpoint notes on Plato's and Aristotle's metaphysics.
  • If you've been away the last few days, review the introductory Powerpoint notes on metaphysics and answer all these questions (#1-11).
  • Did you write last Friday's ethics test?
    • We will be studying the ethics of Plato, Aristotle, the early classic theories of cynicism, hedonism, stoicism, Christianity and Spinoza, as well as Kantian and utilitarian ethics.
