I let my partner on this Oral Defense take the easy part of defending Hobbes, which is just repeating his arguments. I just have to get better at writing in-class. Over all though, I am happy with the amount of work I accomplished. I learned much and am proud of my ability to reason and inperpret the complicated and demanding writings of philosophy. Next semester I am taking Existentialism, my seventh philosophy class.
Philosophy gives one the ability to examine any topic, and rationally reach conclusions.
It also provides a broad sense that there are indeed two sides to every argument. This ability to critically examine topics will serve me well in my interactions with parents, students, administrators, and other teachers.
