Philosophers Assemble!
We did not have a very deep philosophical discussion, rather we divided up all of the necessary work for each member. And we shall be questing to seek the holy grail! Monty Python and philosophy is our group project and I must say i am looking forward to it.
Monty Python! Can't wait to see what you guys do with that!
ReplyDeleteI am very interested to hear your group's mid term on Monty Python.
ReplyDeleteFactual Question: True or False! Augustine asked God to give him strength against bodily pleasures immediately. (False! He asked God to give him strength against it later because he was just having too much fun.)
