In lieu of class this evening

Since UAA is closed because of the earthquake in lieu of class you can check the videos from the two sessions of my Introduction to Philosophy course that met this week. Here is the note from the Monday class Today we discussed William James and Pragmatism. The video is posted here. The quiz question was how does the pragmatist theory of truth - that truth evolves - fit with how you think of truth? and here is the note from Wednesday class: we discussed John Dewey and education. The video is posted here. The quiz question was who do you think influenced our democracy more, the Greeks or the Romans?
