Today we were able to go outside and has out how our group project will work. Everyone will send their individual research on each philosopher to Leigh (mls4n), who will put it together in a cohesive presentation. We decided to focus on the topic of love, and how each philosopher we have studied would react to the question of love. See you guys on Tuesday! Study for that test!

I think we made a lot of progress in our presentation. I'm working on compiling the powerpoint for our display, but I think that once we get our "roundtable" of philosophers worked out, it should be a pretty entertaining and informative presentation. I'm really looking forward to it.
