Questions Jan 18

 Welcome to Opening Day 2022!

One of our daily tasks in class is to ask and address relevant questions: textual questions that may appear on exams, and discussion questions we can talk and post about. I'll post some in advance of each class, and we can add to them when we meet. If we use a question you've suggested, you can "take a base" on the scorecard. (Don't worry, I'll explain what that means.)

Since we've not read any assigned texts yet, today's questions are just for discussion -- they won't be on the first exam. But they're good questions to talk and post about.

  • Who are you?
  • Why are you here?
  • What are philosophy and bioethics, and what do they have to do with each other?
  • Do you have a favorite philosopher? A favorite scientist?
  • Do you have a pithy personal philosophy? (Maybe something short like Charlie Brown's sister Sally's?--"No!")
  • What ethical/philosophical issues related to the pandemic occur to you?
  • Your suggestions...
Post your responses to these questions in the comments space under Introductions, below.
