Philosoraptors!!

Sorry guys, but I forgot to mention that I would post this week!
Today we went outside on what turned out to be a very nice day! It was a little cold in the shade, but since we had a short class it was not that bad. We took our quiz and then discussed answers as usual. Today's group topic was a bit random. It started at "hating" on drake and winded up at discussing if we would stay in college if we won the lottery. We got off topic, yet stayed philosophical so I call that a successful discussion!

Remember to post guys! Have a good weekend!

btw, the readings were somewhat about religion and afterlife so I thought this picture was pretty appropriate...

  2. LH: Sartre, De Beauvoir, & Camus

    Sartre suggest for us to really be free we must live our lives the way we want and not as others expect us to. We have to be free to make our own decision without looking for others for advice. That doesn't help us to be free if we depend and live as others suggest. He believe we look to others and live as they expect us too because we are all afraid of freedom and is running from it.
    de Beauvoir book 'Second Sex" is claiming that women wasn't born women, but had to learn to become women. Women were accepting men view of what a women was and had to decided what she was by making her own choice of being free to do that.
    Camus simply felt that life doesn't have any meaning until we give it meaning by making choices. Once we do that it is meaningful until death comes and takes it all away.
