History of Philosophy I Friday evening

Of course as soon as I started driving home I remembered who John of Salisbury was (he was the main assistant to Thomas Becket. But we will pick up with him next week. The quiz questions tonight were 1: Who do you think Anselm is calling a fool? and 2: What is your favorite Gregorian chant?

Thursday classes

In History of Philosophy II today talking about Husserl and Phenomenology I brought up two examples. One was Van der Leeuw (this link is to a newer edition) and the other was Peter Berger and Sociology of Knowledge As an example of the socially constructed reality I brought up elements of J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series - "the journey from the mind of a single mother to a global media franchise" and the quiz question was who do you think the house elves best represent? Would you support SPEW? For Introduction to Philosophy today we moved on to Hegel and for some reason I thought, hey, why not? Let's ask the same question! Would you support SPEW?

Friday evening History of Philosophy I

There were two quiz questions this evening. The first was to say whether you were voting for Rome or Greece prior to watching the debate between Boris Johnson and Mary Beard on Intelligence Squared and then the question did you vote differently after the debate ended? (And sort of what did you think of the debate that I think was really smashing...) The second question asked just before everyone left for Spring Break (remember we have no class next Friday) was what do you think of the concept of The Immaculate Conception?

Thursday classes

Have a nice Spring Break! The quiz question today for both classes was what are your plans for Spring Break? Please be safe and have fun.
