Thursday classes

For History of Philosophy II the quiz question today was a comparison between Augustine's reply to the skeptics (page 290 in the text or here on the web - go to chapter 26) with Descartes' Meditations in the text starting at page 377 or here on the web. This comparison had to be obvious to his contemporaries that all would have been familiar with Augustine... so he became famous among his peers because of his work in mathematics, not the Cogito ergo Sum. For Introduction to Philosophy the quiz question today concerns Socrates argument in the Euthyphro - but sort of updated: if Jesus came to your door and asked you to sell everything you have, give the money to the poor, and then go with Him, would you go? Or would you argue with Him about why you should do this? For Logic in the evening class the quiz question is: what are the ten commandments? for the first half of the lecture. Second half - what is your favorite song? Send me the link!
