Teenage Mutant Ninja Philosophers ( Zach, Christopher, Chandler, Yousef)
Sorry for the late post guys. On Wednesday we had another peripatetic philosophy session. We walked around Walnut Grove discussing different things but in particular the moral dilemma Abraham faced in the Bible. We pretty much unanimously agreed we would not hurt our child if we "heard a voice in our head commanding us to do so." We also asked ourselves if Marx's idea of communism is even possible and we came to the conclusion that it is pretty much a utopia ideal and most likely impossible to achieve. See you guys Monday!!
