Section 13 Group 2 9/13
In group discussion today we discussed the philosopher Cicero. We talked about the process of becoming old. How we shouldn't sit around alone or in a nursing home, but we should still go out and "live". We agreed that with growing old one should not be pessimistic. We weren't sure how we felt about how Cicero said that friendships and good conversation can take the place of physical pleasure. But accepting the process of growing old is the most important thing.

Great discussion last meeting, lots of insights. I agreed with much of what Cicero had to say about growing old. as for Boethius, I really enjoyed reading his views. Some possible questions could be:
ReplyDeleteFactual- Boethius wrote his most famous book while in prison. True or False?
Discussion- Do you think we have free will if God already knows what decisions we are going to make?
