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.
