Test #1

Test #1 will be held at the beginning of class on Wednesday, February 26th. You will have about 25 minutes to take it. There will be a section on evaluating deductive arguments, and a section of short answer questions on the topics we discussed in class so far:
  • philosophy in general
  • understanding and evaluating arguments
  • types of arguments: deductive and abductive (inferences to the best explanation)
  • what is knowledge?
  • Plato's account of knowledge
  • skepticism
  • Descartes battling skepticism
The test is worth 150 points (15% of your overall grade).

And a reminder: the first reading response is due Monday, February 24th.
