Today we read the article posted on the syllabus by Stanley Fish and discussed its relationship to the course. As a result there were two questions - one: what is your epistemology? And two: Is there a text in this course?
"What we have loved
Others will love, and we will teach them how."
Wordsworth
I remember going to college with all my early beliefs still intact. I was raised Roman Catholic. Jesus was my personal Savior. They held together until I switched my major to Philosophy in the second summer. (I was doing so poorly in music that I had to switch in order to bring up my point average enough to continue in school). I had changed to Philosophy primarily because I had no idea what I wanted to study, or should study. Philosophy offered the most, free electives (you couldn't just take any courses you wanted to back then) and by taking free electives in Sociology, Psychology and Anthropology, I figured I could find out what I would like best. As it turned out, I liked Philosophy best.
