Week 12 PHIL

WEEK 12

In order to receive credit for these assignments (in general) you must do a number of things:

 

1. Have a post of at least 300 words on topic.

2. Contain one citation. (do not worry about this for the first assignment)

3. Include the password I drop in the audio lectures (do not worry about this for this first assignment

3. It must use one of the WRAITEC ( The goodthinker's toolkit) letters as a tool to prompt yourself. 

How does one use WRAITEC? It is rather straightforward; pick one of the letters (such as R for reasons) and focus on the reasons for Aristotle making this or that claim. Any letter can be used but be sure to be clear which it is you are using (at least for these first couple weeks of class). 

You now have looked at a combination of several religions and have had the 'what is a religion' lecture.

Simply put: why or why not ought Buddhism be considered its own religion? If it isn’t a religion, what is it? What features does it share with the more traditional Western religions we have previously examined?
