19th and 20th - Wed March 12
We finished up our discussion of Nietzsche.
We then had a "philosophical battle royale" between the "Kierkegaardians," "Schopenhauerians," and "Nietzscheans" on the topic of "The Ideal Individual". The highlight of the class was Kevin G.'s spot-on impression of Schopenhauer, complete with thick German accent, vigorous gesticulations, and wild, spiky hair!
The midterm is on Friday. It will consist of 40-50 multiple choice questions. Be sure to bring a #2 pencil and know your student ID number. The questions will span everything we have covered up through Nietzsche.
For the Monday after Spring Break: read Jones & Fogelin, Chapter 1.
