The great part about certain classes, especially those that encourage debate is hearing the different insight from class mates with different backgrounds and opinions. I have never taken a philosophy class before so I am interested to see how I feel about the subject once I have gained a basic knowledge of the course.
In this class we will ask ‘what is philosophy?’ in the hopes of defending the importance of this discipline for the individual and society. In this endeavor we shall trek through the history of philosophy while unpacking some of the major issues and problems in metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, logic and politics. Furthermore we will address the perennial problems of the good life, personal identity, authenticity and social responsibility.

Ignorance
My favorite part of the class on Wednesday was discussing the types of Ignorance. The type of ignorance that stuck out to me was double ignorance. There are always those one or two people in every class that the term can be used for. These people at times just talk to be heard, when in my opinion it takes away from the conversation at hand.
