"The pluralistic form takes for me a stronger hold on reality than any other philosophy I know of, being essentially a social philosophy, a philosophy of 'co'"-William James
I apologize for the late post. Yesterday (11/12) we followed the paripatetics' method of philosophizing by walking around campus talking mostly about Keikegaard and Marx. I have to say this method is preferable for myself.
FQ: Henry Sidewick, a late 19th century Victorian philosopher and professor at Cambridge University who wrote "Method of Ethics" was a ________ utilitarian. (hedonistic) DQ: Going on David Edmunds first sentence in PBB about Nietzche... "Does art teach us truths, and is that its purpose?"
30 minute video on Nietzche Dream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvmmZym-Hfo
FQ: who wrote The Varieties of Religious Experience? James DQ: as james argued with others, do you think a hunter circled his prey with the example in the book?
I agree with you, Sam! I thought it was very exciting to walk around and discuss things in small groups! I feel like we all got more out of it! I would love to do this again on a pretty day!
I also agree, walking outside and philosophizing was a lot more fun and more thoughts came to my mind.
FQ: Who discovered the third great revolution in human thought called unconsciousness? ( Sigmund Freud) DQ: Is God dead? What do you think of Niietzsche's philosophies on this subject?
Freud's psycho-sexual stage theory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvOoYX45G_0
I agree with Sam. I think better moving than sitting, and a change of scenery was nice for philosophizing. FQ: What was Pierce's, James', and Rorty's ideology? (Pragmatism) DQ: Is the "cash value" of an idea a determining factor in its truth? Here is a good explanation of Marxism: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=W0GFSUu5UzA
I enjoyed the paripatetics' method as well, it gave rises to new ideas and more of open discussion. I believe the change of scenery is what makes this method interesting and more enjoyable than just sitting in a classroom. FQ: Nietzche described himself to be an _________, not someone who deliberately does evil, but someone who believes that we need to get beyond all morality. [Immoralist] DQ: What are you thoughts on emotion and irrational factors playing a role on human valued? http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/f/friedrich_nietzsche.html
Moving around rather than sitting still for so long is definitely preferable. I enjoy the paripatetic's method as well.
FQ: What is pragmatism? (a philosophical approach that became popular in the United States in the late nineteenth century. Pragmatists wanted to make philosophy more scientific.) DQ: Are there parts of your mind that are unreachable?
