DAY 8 Feb 11 Review of Metaphysics Theories & First Class Travel

Today we did some review of the theories discussed so far in Metaphysics (see yesterday's work).  Many of you spoke to the class about which theory resonates best with you and you offered splendid examples of how that is so.

Read "First Class Travel", p. 140 and complete this question:

1.  Is stepping into the transporter a way of traveling or a way of dying?  Why?
2.  What would Hobbes (a materialist) say about Q. 1 above?
3.  Would this be an acceptable way of travel to a philosopher who adheres to the:
    - substance theory (Descartes)
    - bundle theory (Hume)
    - project theory (Sartre)
