THANK YOU
- Thanks for your participation in the course this semester!
- I hope our study has challenged you and will stay with you.
*
A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME
- We have attempted to get a sense of the path of thought in Western History -
- Axial age
- Classical ages
- Middle ages
- Modern ages (early and late)
- Postmodern age
*
CLASSIC PHILOSOPHICAL TOPICS
- We have attempted to understand something of the key concerns of formal Philosophy
- Metaphysics - Study of reality
- Epistemology – How do we come to know?
- Logic- Patterns and methods for thinking through things
- Ethics- study of how life should be lived
*
GREAT THINKERS
- We have been introduced to a mix of important thinkers
*
IMPLICATIONS
- We have attempted to grasp the reality that all thought has consequences and implications. We have practiced the habit of evaluating the ideas we encounter concerning their possible consequences.
- Hopefully we have carefully considered our own philosophy of life for the implications it carries.
*
OBSERVATIONS
- Thinking is always changing
- Many philosophical ideas and positions recycle
- The basic imperfection of humanity is always a challenge to deal with- is there a perfect philosophy or system that can conquer the human condition?
- Thought moves the world- where will it move next?
- You choose what you think.
- You live what you think!
