  1. Way to go group 2! Two great ideas, and two intriguing presentations! Cannot wait till Monday to see what's next!

    To the This I Believe group: What do you think the world would be like without your belief?

    Song Philosophy group: Do you think there is more philosophy in a shorter song or a longer one? One by Elliot Smith, who has a philosophy degree, or one of the others, who do not (as far as I know)?

    10 FQ's: 1) A conversation ending in someone realizing they knew very little was a failure according to Socrates? (2) According to Aristotle, how can eudaimonia be achieved? (3) What is "theism"? (4) The key to life, according to Epicurus, is what? (5) People that believe we are in control of what we feel and think are _________? (6) Naturalism, moral realism, and emotivism are all three theories of what? (7) The lady in Boethius' cell revealed herself as who? (8) People who argue for some form of equality are called what? (9) Which animals did Machiavelli say we should learn from and imitate? (10) Hobbes believed the muscles and organs of the body are equivalent to what 17th century mechanism?

    Answers: 1) False (2) A living in society (3) Belief in God (4) Pleasure/happiness (5) Stoics (6) Meta-ethics (7) Philosophy (8) Egalitarians (9) A fox and a lion (10) A clock

    FQ: What is the most satisfactory theory of perception to date?

    DQ: After answering the "FQ": assume any of the other theories are correct. Does that mean we have to follow based on faith as opposed to perception? And by going on faith instead of perception, does that prove, disprove, or not prove at all the existence of God?

    This goes to show why we do NOT always trust our senses.
