Philosophy is Practical

 
Greetings!

Our first few lectures allowed us to enter into the vast world of philosophy via its different disciplines (i.e. epistemology, metaphysics, logic, etc). We saw how it addresses a variety of questions, the mystery of the world, and how it even arises out of the depths of our being when we are confronted with death!

This week I would like for you to consider and respond to the following question:  

How do you think philosophy is useful/practical in today's world.

This question requires some thought; don't rush through it. Your response should be no less than 3-4 sentences. Remember, you are graded on how well thought out your response is!

Due date: 18th (Friday) 

Good luck! 

Prof. Terry
