Thursday Classes

For History of Philosophy II today the quiz question is a choice. If you have never had to deal with the question - the famous question! If a tree falls in the forest and there is nobody there to hear it does it make a sound? then this question is for you. If you have already had that question in Introduction to Philosophy then a better question might be to ask you what you think of my interpretation of Berkeley's concept of Spirit as what becomes for us Energy today. After all, he is in correspondence with Leibniz who speaks the same way calling Monads spiritual beings and today the Monads are considered similar to what are called Quarks. For Introduction to Philosophy today the quiz question concerns the historical Jesus. How do you interpret who Jesus was?
