It is hoped that these views will have an impact on how we view contemporary Philosophy and on how we interpret our experience. At the beginning of each class meting there will be a quiz. There will be a 25-30 question quiz on each Philosopher we read as well as on some general background themes. I will attempt to place practice quizzes on my website before the actual in class quizzes. Neither technology failures nor my failure to post practice quizzes on my website will prevent the in class quizzes from taking place.
Students are responsible for all the readings listed on the syllabus.
Students should be prepared for a quiz or quizzes on the Philosophers covered during the previous class. It is the students responsibility to keep up on all readings assigned on the syllabus. To learn how to reflect Philosophically. To gain insight into the nature of Philosophical argumentation. To learn how to understand and evaluate the Philosophical positions of the Philosophers we study.
