Thursday classes

In History of Philosophy today the quiz question was do you have a soul? If you discussed this in History of Philosophy I, notice now in History of Philosophy II we are looking at things following Galileo and are seeing the beginnings of the mechanistic view of the universe. How is Descartes going to explain the interaction of the mind and body? For Introduction to Philosophy the quiz question for today was the scenario where Jesus comes to your door, tells you to sell all you have and give the money to the poor, then follow Him. Do you go? Or do you argue with Jesus? (Hypothetically, you know this is really Jesus and you know He is God.) If you are interested in Sophie's World here is an apparently free on line link to it with English subtitles
