Greeting and salutations NO SOX!
In today's discussion, we talked mainly about our group midterm project. We are still in the process of organizing our group due to a few absences but we have a few topics in mind. Our team will split up into three groups which will cover a different philosopher. So far, the philosophers we will be talking about are:
Seneca
Galleleo
Pascal
NO SOX members please post which philosopher you want to do the project on and we'll make adjustments as we go next class on Wednesday.
P.S. Jay has volunteered to do the study guide for our group. Give him a high five next time you see him!
This is David Xayabudda
GO NO SOX!
Your group has some great philosophers for the project. I'm interested to learn more on Galleleo because I've heard many things about him but it's all hearsay, I would like to know who he really was vs what someone has told me.
ReplyDeleteHere's a discussion question: Why are philosophy and mathematics so seemingly interlinked? Pascal, Galileo, Descartes, etc are all just as well known (if not more so) for their contributions to mathematics as they are to philosophy. Those disciplines are decidedly separate today. When did that happen?

I think they are interlinked because Philosophers, especially ones like Aristotle, are interested in learning as much as they can in every subject they can. Philosophers love to pursue Truth, and by learning all that they can, they can come closer to realizing Truth.

I will research Seneca
FQ: What are some name of the books Augustine has written that are mentioned in Little History
ReplyDeleteAnswer: Confessions, The City of God
DQ:Why was Augustine only interested in the Christian perspective?
I would disagree that Augustine wasn't only interested in the Christian perspective, while he only drew solid belief on it he used many different philosophical ideas from the ancient Greeks.
