We will finally be meeting this week Philosophers!

 

Our class will look a little different this week as we are losing and gaining some people. This week we will be discussing humanism and Renaissance philosophers on Wednesday. If you have not done so, please return your copy of Siddhartha to me.

 

Thanks!

Hey Philosophers!

 

Hope you all had a restful break and refrained from contemplating the human condition too much.  

As I hope you all know, we will be switching our class meeting time to the afternoons on Mondays and Wednesdays right after lunch. During our first week back, we will have all the students who normally attend FRCC with us in the afternoons. Because of this, we will be doing the Adulting 101 and study skills sessions during the time that we normally have Philosophy. Our class will meet for the first time on Monday the 20th.

Looking forward to seeing all you!

Hey Philosophers, 

 

This week you need to have all Siddhartha questions answered and turned in concluding with chapter 12. I will give you study guides for the final as well. 

Please see me if you are having issues of any kind.

Almost there guys, hang in a little longer!

Welcome back philosophers,

 

We are continuing with Siddhartha this week and I would like you to have chapter 5-8 completed by Wednesday's class and 9-12 finished next week. I will get you a study guide for the midterm this week and it will cover what we have learned so far this semester. 

Let me know if you have any questions and have a great week!

Philosophers,

 

We continue our reading of Siddhartha and will be moving onto chapters 7-8 for Monday and 9-10 for Wednesday. Please speak with me in class about late assignments or missing assignments. 

Have a great week!

Hey Philosophers,

We only meet once this week on Wednesday and I will assign chapter 5-6 questions for Siddhartha. I still have lots of work still out from the past week so pleased turn in any missed assignments. If you are not sure what you are missing please come and check with me. 

Have a great week!

Hello Philosophers, 

This week we will continue with Siddhartha and complete questions to chapters 3-4 and do a lesson on Taoism on Monday. On Wednesday, We will begin reading Part II and answer questions for chapters 5-6. Have a great week!

Happy Halloween Philosophers!

 

This week we will continue to read Siddhartha and answer questions for chapters 3 and 4. We will also learn about Taoism and explore its influence on Chinese culture. Please complete and turn in your Eastern Philosophy packet and answered questions for chapters 1 and 2 of Siddhartha if you have not already. Hope everyone stays safe and warm this week.

Hey Philosophers, 

Last week you should have started reading Siddhartha by Herman Hesse up to Part I, pages 1-26. On Monday you should be answering the questions for Chapters 1 and 2 and on Wednesday answering the questions for Chapters 3 and 4. The essential question I would like everyone to keep in mind for this unit is: What is the relationship between knowledge and spirituality?

Hey Philosophers,

This week we started studying Eastern Philosophy and will begin reading Siddhartha by Herman Hesse. I would like you to read Part I of Siddhartha for next Monday and begin to finish the packet on the history of eastern religions. Have a great week!

Philosophers, 

This week you will be working on your Aristotle independent study assignments. Remember to read your Aristotle selections and write a one page typed, 12 pt font, double spaced essay on your selection. Summarize and then reflect. Let me know if you are having trouble and I will help! Have a great break!

Philosophers, 

This week we finish up Plato with our group presentations and begin reading Aristotle. Since Aristotle wrote on a wide range of topics, you will be choosing the reading assignment that you will write about. Grades are due at the end of the week so please turn in any late assignments you may have. Have a week!

Hey Philosophers,

 

This week we will continue to work on our Plato group projects. Your groups were The Forms, Ethics, Aesthetics, Government, Know Thyself, and Platonic Love. I will see you all on Monday. Have a week!
