Thursday classes

For Introduction to Philosophy today the quiz question was do you meditate? And if so, do you ever feel connected to the universe?

For History of Philosophy the quiz question today was to examine the relationship between Leibniz and Lady Conway - where letters between them seem to show that Lady Conway came up with his idea of the Monad but yet she received no recognition for it. This seems to be a pretty regular pattern. Why do women seldom get recognized for their scientific achievements? See this page and read the last line for the connection.
