Class Plan for the Week

Hi All,

We'll talk about Heraclitus  Tuesday.

1.  The name game.  Put chairs  in a circle and arrange yourselves alphabetically by first name.
2.  A  bit  about Heraclitus' person and personality.
3. The aphorism and the  history of philosophy.
4.  The Oracle  at Delphi
5.  Small group work.  Looking at the aphorisms  on    about the arche (metaphysics),  human understanding  (epistemology)   relationality   between logos and humans, between humans  (ethics)   Relationship to  philosophical past







No  class on  Thursday.    Your  assignment is to begin work on your presentation.  In that there is not  class and no  assignment,  this means that you have an  extra  2-3 hours in your  schedule.  I suggest that you take advantage of this time. Here's an assignment. 

1.  Decide what you are  presenting on if  you have not  already.
2.  Read the  aphorisms about your philosopher
3.  Read  Stanford Encyclopedia Article on  your philosopher
4.  Write some initial ideas about how you think you might present  

post a blog reporting what you've learned

This will count toward the  twenty points  in your class presentation on evidence of  preparation.  It will also  count as a blog  post.
