We'll be trying out a new format for our HUM 2730. Blogging! Philosophy lends itself to discussion and thought at many times during the day when we are not "in class". Blogging will allow you to make comments as they occur to you and think through where you stand on various issues and your process for coming up with your values.
Each week you'll be required to blog about the topics for the week (see syllabus for details). To make this not an additional time requirement but instead to allow you some freedom for thought and expression in your daily lives, we'll be aiming to be out of class by 7:30 so that you can use class time for blogging.
INSTRUCTIONS - Blog at least twice during each week - once with your initial thoughts on the assignments topics and then again, after you've read the week's essays and have more thoughts on the matter. Please respond to your peers' blogs as well so that you are prepared for our class discussion as well

Week One - What the Heck am I studying Philosophy for anyway???
Write your initial thoughts on blogging with philosophy and perhaps your thoughts on the initial readings here. A good question to start with: Do you agree or disagree with Socrates' decision to accept his punishment? Would you have made the same decision? Why or why not?
