Philosophers Guild (H)
In group today, we talked in more depth about our project. We discussed the main ideas we wanted to include, such as topics and certain clips from the Monty Python series. Many of us decided which passage we wanted to read and report on. Every now and again we would tie our discussions about the project to free will and predetermination.
