Well it's the last week of class. I have kept up with thee things
through out the whole semester so I might as well do one more just for
completions sake. So what am I going to talk about since we haven't any
homework. O wait, we do! it's to study for that final exam of ours on
Monday. So that make our homework everything since the last test. Okay
then lets go a step further and just reflect back on the whole
semester. For me this has been a very enlightening and fulfilling class
actually. Before I did know something of philosophy, Plato and St.
Augustine mostly. I didn't really know philosophy though. This class has
helped me get a deeper understanding and a more comprehensive knowledge
of philosophy. As you all know, I am a critic of Rebecca Goldstein's Plato at the Googleplex, but I thoroughly enjoyed friend Russel's History of Western philosophy, which I found not only enjoyable to read but enlightening and I plan to read it
in full. Some of the presentations in class earlier in the semester
were very interesting, and thanks to the Harry Potter group because now I
know why my friends have always been telling me I am a Hufflepuff. I
also soon get the results of a little pet project of mine. I've been
counting how many times Professor Oliver mentions William James by name
this semester. So far it's around fifty or so I think. I cannot say I
haven't enjoyed this class or that I won't take away a new love of
philosophy from this semester.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
Only 50?
