DAY 2 Feb 3

We started by rolling the dice and we came up with some ideas that you want to discuss (as well as some ideas about what Philosophy is all about . . . as follows:


Raven knows that it is not true that Sophie's hair is blonde. She knows this because she can see that Sophie's hair is red.

Sam would like to know which came first, the chicken or the egg. Danny suggests that this requires circular reasoning.

Sean knows that anything that you can sense must be reason, a cat for example.

The Ship of Theseus - is it the various parts of the ship that make it the ship? What makes the ship the ship? Is it the "intention" of the ship? At what point could it be a new ship during the reconstruction process?


Then we went to the Library to make everyone a Gmail account that includes your first and last name and then you joined as a follower of our class blog where everything you ever needed to know about this course will be stored and we'll update it daily.
