Tuesday classes

For History of Philosophy II today the quiz question was regarding the plight of homeless people. Are they people too? But if we use the narrative requirement as a measure of the constitution of selves they may not be. (For my review see this link.) Neither are young children? Even adolescents? Or those with dementia? For Introduction to Philosophy today the quiz question is why do we have religion? Just when you believed the week could not get more exciting.... Ex Machina will be shown on Thursday evening, Feb. 25th, 6:30 - 8:30 pm, ADM 148. Please invite your students. Snacks will be provided. This event is a conference preview, a great chance to chat about philosophy, and also an opportunity to talk about the major and upcoming Fall 16 classes to all who are interested. Thanks to Gunner for organizing and for the cute robot poster, attached.
