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.

Sex and the City 2!
When Dr. Layne was talking about the different types of arguments, I immediately thought of Sex and the City 2 when Samantha and the girls have to hide from the public after her bag is ripped open and condoms come flying out. Sex and the City 2 came into my mind right after Dr. Layne explained the argument type: appeal to force. The people of Abu Dhabi start shouting at her and forcing upon her their beleifs of not showing things like condoms in public. The people of Abu Dhabi did not care that Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte were Americans. All they cared about were their ideas of modesty and that everyone else was wrong.
