GROUP 2 SECTION 12

We came up with a topic and format for our midterm. So we decided to use SUPERVILLIANS AND PHILOSOPHY as our subject. We'll each pick a villain, so pick the one you prefer and a couple others as back-ups. We talked about a few points we could research for our villains:

1. what movie/comic/whatever they're from
2. What makes them villainous
3. What philosophy they can be grouped into

That's a good start I think. Any other points would be great. I did talk to our prof. after class and it will be fine to use fictional OR actual historical figures. That could make our research a little easier, and cheaper. We figure to each spend around 6 or 7 minutes presenting our research.

Here's our list of assignments to be done before WED.

1. Little history, chapter 5
    Morganne (Seneca)
    Maegan (Cicero)
    Elizabeth (Epictetus)

2. America the Philosophical, pgs. 57-78
    Morgan (Emerson)
    Evan (Walzer, The Constitution) Sorry man, looks like I accidentally gave you 2 assignments? If that's the case, pick one I suppose   
    Cody (Peirce)
    Victoria (James)

As far as Prof's presentation, we heard a lot about the idea of skepticism, and the idea of eliminating the idea of Philosophers as an elite group. We also heard and talked about Epicurus and his philosophy of living within your means and setting simple goals for yourself in live. Got a lot done.
Oh, and our name. I tried Philosophy bites, but no luck. Maybe "We Bite Harder".
