Early Modern Philosophy and Introduction to Philosophy lecture 19

Today in Early Modern Philosophy we began looking at Pragmatism - American philosophy. Last class was recorded as a pod cast by Emma and is posted here by the way. Thank you Emma! I forgot to record today again. Sorry about that. Must be Spring or something. But we mostly discussed the nature of pragmatism as Hegelianism. Neither Existentialism nor Marxism but Hegel's philosophy with both conflicting sides. The quiz question was who is your favorite American Composer? I played some Aaron Copland, some Samuel Barber, some John Philip Sousa. For Introduction to Philosophy the video is here. The quiz question was the same as above - who is your favorite American Composer? We discussed Epicurus putting him in context with other post Aristotelians such as the Cynics, Stoics, and Skeptics.
