Discussion Questions
What is Philosophy
Most people have views that are strongly influenced and informed by philosophy, often without realizing it. Identify a view you havewhether on politics, religion, science, culture, or even the media and entertainmentthat might be regarded as being related to philosophy. What kind of reasons do you have for holding that belief? What figure from the history of philosophy section do you think might have some views that are similar, or at least relevant, to your own? Explain why you chose that particular figure.
Justifying Beliefs
Many philosophers insist that our most strongly held beliefs should be examined and critically evaluated. What is required for a person to justify his or her beliefs? Do many people believe what they do without giving those beliefs critical scrutiny? What are the advantages of believing something without examining it? What are the disadvantages? Identify a specific belief you have that you think is worth defending, and explain how you might go about defending it.
