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.

"Clash of the Titans" 2010
This evening a couple friends and myself were watching the 2010 version of "Clash of the Titans" and I started thinking. Satre said that man was responsible for themselves and makes their own choices. Well, Perseus in "Clash of the Titans" seemed to show that. He chose not to immediately take the sword Zeus gifted him with because he wanted to defeat Hades as a man, not demi-god. IN the end, he still makes his own decisions by not going with Zeus to MPOunt Olympus and becoming a God with his father. I just thought that this was an interesting thought about man making their own decisons based on what they want and not the confines of family or anything else.
