And the point of Philosophy class is....
Welcome to Philosophy Class! We will spend the semester pondering and debating the great philosophical questions: What is reality? What is the meaning of life? How can you know something for certain? and many, many more.
We will examine the ideas of the great philosophers - from the Pre-Socratics to Sartre - from Natural Philosophy to Existentialism. We will also look at how Philosophy has been a cornerstone for other disciplines like the physical sciences and the social sciences.
Most importantly, we will be looking at how philosophy impacts our day-to-day lives - in the films we watch, the books we read, and the Mission Statement of our own school.
