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.

Plato Reading
I thought that this was one of the most confusing reading assignments I have ever had to read. I thought most of the reading was written more like a fortune cookie than a story However, I did really like the end of the story when they were debating whether the body or soul were mortal or immortal. It is a very interesting argument but there really is no way of knowing the answer to the question.
