  1. (H3) politics of the moment? No, especially sine politics in general, especially your own, is not usually the most light hearted of affairs, concentrating on it to much makes you cynic (not the philosophic kind) to little makes you blissfully ignorant. But everyone needs some kind of break form it.

  2. (H3) time? Well if you consider time as merely a matrices of perception that can be ignored, than we can escape it for a time. However, I would argue that escaping it for to long, puts us in danger of missing it entirely, and getting lost in our own little worlds.

  3. (H3) Socrates? Was he being disturbing of the civil peace, probably, but not enough to warrant prosecution I would say. I would not go as far as to ay he was rendering a service to Athens. Should anyone ever be persecuted for challenging authority? Depends how they challenge it.

    ReplyDelete
  4. (H3) probity? Yes, because that will, among other things lead to a lot more trouble down the road if you say one thing to one person and another thing to another, both thinking you are telling the truth.

    ReplyDelete
  5. (H3) Morality? Personal morality obviously is important, and while I think that, at least in my case, the edicts of God don't need to be questions they should be independently verified if you expect those who do not hold your beliefs to respect them as they would have no grounds to regard the roles of a god(s) they don't believe in or respect as setting forth legitimate rules.

    ReplyDelete
  6. (h3) favorite? Yes, just because you have a favorite doesn't mean you are closed off to all other views, just that you judge these views t be the best out of those you have heard so far. Being dogmatic and having favorites is different.

    ReplyDelete
  7. (h3) Immortality? Personally I do not think that sort of immortality will be a reality in the world we live in right now. Nor do I think it should be, as to gain eternal lie is to lose the eternal character or driving mortality that makes mankind. Not to mention the population problem.

    ReplyDelete
  8. (H3) Afterlife? I don't believe in an afterlife, secular or otherwise, I don't think at least. After we die, we sleep. When god chooses we will be raised from the dead and live bodily in a new world he creates. There is no after life because we don't move onto some spiritual plain, we will carry on in a new, physical one.

    1. They are everywhere, aren't they? Especially now. That being said, they're a great way to get stressed, and I simply don't have it in me to keep up with, fret about, and argue over every issue, all the time. I'm not suggesting we shun politics altogether — it's important to be involved in civil discourse about our future — but I do think we need a break every now and again. Instead of becoming outraged at everything, we can pick a few things we're truly passionate about and work on enacting positive change on those fronts!

    2. The main problem with that (at least in fiction — I haven't bothered to ask any real immortals) is watching everyone you've ever cared about move on and die. You inevitably become detached and desensitized. Maybe you still care about your work (that could be a neat game, seeing how your legacy morphs and goes in and out of style as the years pass), but if so it's probably the only thing that you care about anymore.

  17. (H3) It is not possible to obtain immortality in the fact of actually living forever. After the sin of Adam and Eve we weren't made to live forever.

  19. (H3) I wouldn't say I care about the life on Earth after me as much as I care about Heaven. Heaven is the ultimate thing to look forward to and what I want to focus making sure people get to join me in going to while I am still on earth and sharing about Heaven.

  20. (H3) I find it easy and civically irresponsible to shift my attention entirely away from the politics of the moment. Honestly, I did not follow this current presidential election like I should have. I do believe it is our responsibility to stay up to date on current politics and events. I got caught up in school work and it was just too easy to find additional, arguably more interesting distractions.

  21. (H3) I like what Bryce said about escaping time. It is possible to remove yourself from your own time, finding a place to withdraw from the stress of your life, at least for a short amount of time. It can sometimes be desirable to get out of your own head, to remove yourself from a situation, to get a different perspective. It can also be defensible and understandable. Everyone needs a break from the chaos of their own lives.

    ReplyDelete
  22. (H3) I think if you are out of step with your contemporaries you should speak up. Just because you stand out from a crowd doesn't mean you are wrong. There is this saying, "What's right isn't always popular, and what's popular isn't always right." In any case, speaking your mind helps solidify your ideas and you might change someone else's mind, or at least give them a different perspective.

    ReplyDelete
  23. (H3) I don't think Socrates was criminally impious or a disturber of the civic peace. I think he provided people with an outlet for their frustrations and inquires. He challenged blindly-accepted norms and questioned what life means. I don't think anyone should be prosecuted for asking questions; perhaps there is a bigger problem if people are getting defensive about curiosity. As for challenging authority, in an appropriate setting, it can be very enlightening and stimulate useful discussion.

    ReplyDelete
  24. (H3) I think you can have a favorite philosopher without adopting their ideas. Just because I like the way a person's mind works and the conclusions they draw, doesn't mean I change my philosophy to mirror theirs. Appreciation don't equate to dependence. Having a firm grasp on what you believe can allow you to support a philosopher without adopting their ideas.

    1. I like that answer a lot! We've learned about some really cool people in this class, but some of them held beliefs that I don't really find appealing. That's totally fine. People don't have to be perfect, and philosophies tend to not be perfect. But if you find one of either of those that inspires you, you can admire even if you disagree. That's the way I see it.

  25. Is it possible, desirable, or defensible to "remove yourself from your own time"?

    It is barely possible, and I would say very deirable, as long as it was not one's status 100% of the time.

  27. Can you have a favorite philosopher without compromising your critical independence from him/her? How?

    I love this quote, but I disagree. Living forever in this world, and thereby surpassing the lives of everyone you care about, would be miserable. I'd be very happy to live on in the hearts of my countrymen. And no, living forever in the literal sense is not possible, nor will it ever be.

  29. What do you think of the secular afterlife, the life that will continue on Earth after you're gone? Do you care about it? Is it possible that you care about it more than you care about living eternally in a heaven?

    I desire both. I want the religious afterlife, and I want to live in a way that impacts the world for the better after I'm gone, regardless of whether or not I get any credit or renown from it. I think I care about equally for both "afterlives."

  30. How do you account for the fact that "there is so much bullshit" in our culture? What can be done about it?

    I account for it by not expecting much better from depraved humanity, to which I myself belong. Nothing can be done by us to change our nature, but as individuals, we must commit to countering BS through living a virtuous life on the small scale.

    Right now I've decided that's for the best. To stress and be angry about things I am unable to influence is unhealthy and a waste of my time. I've decided to pay our pathetic politics little attention, and be more observant of the things that really matter.

      I agree with you. Its futile to worry about things (Politics in this case) that will remain to be unfair/arbitrary/pointless no matter what you do. We have 2 options: 1) use energy and do nothing and 2) not use energy and do nothing. I vote for #2. Plus, #2 has the added bonus of you using that time/energy for things that can make you happy.

    DQ: •Can you have a favorite philosopher without compromising your critical independence from him/her? How?
    Yes. I think this question ties in with Plato's talk in the most recent dialogue in our book. He brings up Aristotle, saying that people ended up using him as a reference, and blindly believed everything he said, without being critical. Plato brought up the difference between persuasion and influence. To be persuaded by a philosopher does nothing to a person's critical independence. To dogmatically believe everything that philosopher said is when people lose their intellectual independence.

    I wouldn't want to be immortal. I knew an elderly lady who was in her 90's. We visited her house once, and chatted with her as she lay sick in bed. Her room was full of large photos, and she told us about each of them. All had been friends and family, and all were dead. She had outlived her life. I don't see why outliving other people is considered something to be striven after. I'm glad to say that I don't think people will every have the chance to experience mortality, either.

    Yes it does. If I give you money because I know you need it, and I care, I'm doing the right thing for the right reason. If I give you money because I want to make you trust me, just so I can use your debt to me as a power play, then my action has been selfish and hurtful. Reasons matter.

  40. (H3) Do you find it easy, or civically irresponsible, to shift your attention entirely away from the politics of the moment?

    In some ways it could be irresponsible to just totally ignore politics if taken to the extreme of always ignoring politics all the time. I can completely understand it if someone would want to forget about politics and how they are going for awhile though, especially after this election. Personally for me, I find it fairly easy to ignore politics for some time.

    ReplyDelete
  41. (H3) How do you account for the fact that "there is so much bullshit" in our culture? What can be done about it?

    I would say that there is so much of it in our culture because our culture generally accepts it. People tend to expect a certain level of bullshit from others and when they get it they feel that that belief is validated and thus may feel that it's okay to add in their own bullshit, so it's sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy situation. If society started moving in a direction that allowed less bullshit they we would probably see a lot less of it in our culture.

  42. (H3) Can you have a favorite philosopher without compromising your critical independence from him/her? How?

    I would say that you could. You can greatly admire someone while retaining your ability to criticize them. I would think that the easiest way to be capable of this would be to already have your own set of beliefs that you hold dear before reading up on a philosopher. Then you would be able to compare their beliefs alongside your own.

    I've honestly never thought about the world in the "after I die" perspective. It never really occurred to me, mostly because I figured that I don't particularly care. That isn't totally true though, I do care, in the sense that I think there are things that need to be changed about the world so the time after I die is better for later generations. I've always believed that people should make the effort to make lives better here and now as opposed to waiting for the possibility of a perfect afterlife.

  44. I think that it is not easy to shift your attention entirely away from the politics of the moment because it is literally everywhere. I don’t think it civically irresponsible to get away completely from politics for a minute because some people just need a break from it. I understand people are upset but the truth of the matter is the dude won and we just need to get on with life and find a way to make sure he keeps his stance on “Let’s Make America Great Again”, instead of constantly talking about it.

  49. The secular afterlife is hard to think about because it’s hard to think about time going on and continuing without you. I do care what happens to my family after I’m gone and I do care about the impact, if any, that I will leave on the world.

    It is certainly not easy to shift attention away from current politics given all that is going on, but I don't think it is entirely irresponsible to do so either. While I think it is important to always stay aware of what is happening in the world around you, brief respites from such can do wonders for the mind, so that it does not get bogged down in all the political nonsense.

    In certain climates it can be dangerous to voice a dissenting opinion, but if you are in a place in which you can do so then certainly one should speak up; it is discussion and dialogue that brings forth new thoughts and ideas and allows each of us to explore our own conceptions.

  54. In a sense, I do nt think it matters why you do the right thing. However Plato and Kant would disagree based on their view on moral accountability. The more I thought about this question the more I realized that maybe making sure everyone knows why they are doing good things would encourage them to continue to do good deeds.

  55. DQ: Do you find it easy, or civically irresponsible, to shift your attention entirely away from the politics of the moment?
    Answer: Easy?- Not of late, especially with the election and its results. Civically Irresponsible?- Perhaps, but sometimes it’s necessary to move on in daily life. I dislike when people say that people who don’t vote or turn their head to the election have no right to dislike the outcome. I disagree- there are sever circumstances that can make a vote not count, but people are too blinded to see this. Also, I prefer to only vote for someone I support, not vote just to vote against someone.

    DQ: Is it possible, desirable, or defensible to "remove yourself from your own time"?
    Answer: Possible- yes, for some. Desirable- again, yes for some. Defensible- I would say yes, because it is their time to remove themselves from. I feel as though I do this fairly often, especially when surrounded by nature or those I care about.

    DQ: If you find yourself out of step with most of your contemporaries, with regard to your most basic values and attitudes, should you speak up or lay low?
    Answer: I feel it is your RIGHT to step up to a certain extent, and that you should if it is on a substantial issue. However, unlike some philosophers, I don’t see the requirement to voice against other to the point of death. I say to speak when it feels wrong not to.

    DQ: Do you think Socrates was criminally "impious," a disturber of the civic peace in Athens who deserved to be charged accordingly? 293 Or did he provide Athens a critical service they should have been grateful for? Should anyone ever be prosecuted for asking questions and challenging authority?
    Answer: I think he did what he felt was right, and he gave many people a chance to have realization or clarity. However, he perhaps went a bit too far, and was definitely trying to be a martyr. I don’t feel they should be prosecuted for asking question or challenging authority, though he went to the extreme and beyond his rights of free speech.

  56. DQ: Is it okay to converse disingenuously, misleading people as to your confidence in the probity of their responses? 299
    Answer: It’s okay to tell, or preach, what you honestly believe, as long as you are preaching it AS your beliefs, and not as the truth or fact. It is not okay to purposely mislead others of your intentions or beliefs, especially when it has a lasting effect on them.

    DQ: Are you persuaded by Plato's Euthyphro argument that the truth of our values must be established independently from the authoritative traditions and texts that extoll them? If something is good, is it good whatever the god(s) say(s)?
    Answer: I believe that our values belong to ourselves, and are our responsibilities. It’s not okay to try to force someone to have certain values or beliefs, or to push personal beliefs on others who do not want it. However, I don’t see it as wrong to have voluntary guidance to arrive at the values we decide on.

    DQ: Can you have a favorite philosopher without compromising your critical independence from him/her? How?
    Answer: Yes, especially if there are things you disagree about from their beliefs. If you idolize the philosopher and shape your beliefs and ideas to fit the mold of the favorite philosopher, there is no independence. However, there is independence in having a favorite philosopher as long as you have your own reasons for your beliefs, and perhaps there is a required separation on some beliefs for there to be independence.

    DQ: Do you agree with Woody Allen on immortality?: “I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.” Is that possible? Will it ever be?
    Answer: I don’t think it is possible, or that it will be. I also don’t believe it should. Death is a sensitive subject for most, but is largely so for me. I both agree and disagree with Allen, because I don’t want my ‘immortality’ to just be fame, but would rather it be in making a difference for others. My main goal in life is to make a difference or at least make a positive impression on one person- not everyone, because that’s impossible. The more the better, but I will die happy with just changing one life.

    ReplyDelete
  57. DQ: What do you think of the secular afterlife, the life that will continue on Earth after you're gone?
    Answer: I prefer not to think about this when possible. I think people in general make too large a deal about what they won’t be there for, and should focus on what they will be there for. Just physically being somewhere doesn’t do much- it’s being there, physically or in spirit, and making a positive difference or impression on the others there. EX- my dad at my graduation on his phone playing bubble saga VS him being actively engaged and paying attention to the present.

    DQ: Do you care about it? Is it possible that you care about it more than you care about living eternally in a heaven? (See Samuel Scheffler's The Afterlife)
    Answer: Once again, I prefer not to think of the afterlife at all. Perhaps it’s because I don’t want to think that my existence ends the day my time on earth is over. I honestly don’t know. This is why I try to make a positive different in the present, and not on guessing at something I will never know until I experience it.

    DQ: How do you account for the fact that "there is so much bullshit" in our culture? What can be done about it?
    Answer: I account for the bullshit because people often would rather focus on trivial things than what is actually important. Sometimes it’s a coping mechanism, sometimes distraction, sometimes avoidance- no matter the reason, it’s always diversion from the ‘larger than life’ aspects. What can be done about it? I have no idea. I feel that lowering the amount of bullshit should be a personal goal, and not something forced onto those that aren’t ready to lose it. Forcing someone into something that they’re not ready for is in no way beneficial to anyone.

    DQ: If you do the right thing, does it matter why?
    Answer: Yes. I’ve spoke on this before- “ends justify the means.” I’ll say again- I don’t think the important part of life is where we end up, but rather how we got there, and do we deserve to be where we are? I try to live by this- allowing myself to accept being somewhere else than where I expected as long as I got there according to my own personal values, and didn’t just focus on the end-point. The Journey is more important than the Destination.
