QUESTION

3 Philosophy Essays

QUESTIONS

 You must answer each of the following questions. Each question must make use of the work of 1-2 of the philosophers discussed in the class (either to help you make your point or as an opposing view you find unconvincing) and your set of responses must make use of the work of at least 3 different philosophers discussed in the course.

1.     Is it possible to go beyond—beyond our religious convictions, beyond our conception of morality, beyond our sense of who or what we are as individuals or as a community?

2.    

In other words, are we bound by the institutional and social structures that exist in the world in which we are born and raised? If not, what does it take to go beyond? What lies beyond? Does a deeper understanding, a truer view, lie beyond these emotional and intellectual structures if we are able to dismantle them? Or does meaning break down if we go beyond?

2.     How do we best live in societies together?

Do we work together out of necessity or is it human nature? Do we have some responsibility to work together, to protect each other? If so, are we responsible to all members of our neighborhood, our society, the entire world? And what does it mean to say that we are responsible?

3.     What is the most pressing philosophical question?

Which is the most important? Why? Must this question be answered in order for us to live fulfilled lives? What happens to us if that question is not answered?
