Step 2: Answer Reflection Questions
Use this Touchstone Task to begin practicing philosophical inquiry. Remember that philosophy is a unique field of study that requires critical thinking and open dialogue. The journey in answering philosophical questions is as important as the conclusions.
Download the Touchstone Task 1 Worksheet and answer the following reflection questions:
Question 1: What philosophy question resonates most deeply with you from Challenge 1.1?
Question 2: What are the most significant differences between philosophy and other academic disciplines?
Question 3: What are the differences between an ‘opinion’ and a ‘philosophical argument?’
Question 4: Have you taken time to understand each Ancient Greek philosopher’s ideas presented in the course material, and can you write a brief and accurate summary of their ideas?
Take a few minutes to consider each question before answering. Your writing does not have to be formal for this Touchstone Task; it can be spontaneous and flow without concern for structure or grammar. The point here is to think and be expressive. The more structured philosophical arguments will come in the graded Touchstone assignments.
