Philosophy 12

  • For Thursday, complete a good copy of a paragraph - not an essay - that answers the following question: What is philosophy?
    • Identify and prioritize the three most important issues/points that explain the nature of philosophy. I want quality, not quantity. :-)
    • Your paragraph should be organized like a "Standard Body Paragraph".
    • Format:
      • 8-16 sentences
      • no line breaks
      • one indentation at the beginning
      • best argument last
      • 12 or 14 font/1.5 spacing
    • Use any and all of our notes, brainstorms, and textbook readings, but be picky! You don't need to cover everything.
    • No H18's! :-)
    • It is due Thursday and will be marked on the 6 point scale out of 36. Send your paragraph to me via the Share function of Office 365.
  • Did you miss Tuesday's test on the introductory unit, What is philosophy? See me ASAP!
    • Finish all the questions from the introductory textbook questions
    • Review the reading from Kant on "What is enlightenment?"
    • Review our class notes on the definition of philosophy, Socrates's death, and knowledge (epistemology).
  • For next Wednesday, make sure you have three (3) labeled tab dividers with the following labels: Journal/Units/Applied Phil.
