Philosophy In Highschool?

answers1: sounds like a bullsh*t class. should be easy like a high
school psychology class or what not.
answers2: You learn about people's ideas of how to think about things,
through the ages. <br>
<br>
You study the ideas of Plato, Socrates, Nietsche (sp.), Marx, Freud,
and other great thinkers. <br>
<br>
There's some reading & some writing essays, but it should be
interesting. It was easier for me than English essays.
answers3: Hi Daniel, <br>
<br>
Philosophy is the study of how people have thought about various
issues over the course of history. (The word comes from two Greek
roots and literally means "love of wisdom".) <br>
<br>
Philosophy is interesting and useful because it teaches us that people
have not always thought the way we do today. It gives us a sense of
perspective. <br>
<br>
Philosophy shows us how people have answered difficult questions, such
as: How did the world come into being? Does God exist? What is the
nature of God? Why do evil and suffering exist? What things are good,
beautiful, and true? <br>
<br>
Ethics is a subcategory of philosophy. It examines how to live well,
to do the right thing in a given circumstances, and why we should act
a certain way. <br>
<br>
Esthetics examines the nature of beauty. Epistemology looks at how we
know what we know -- the nature of reality. <br>
<br>
At the high school level, a study of philosophy will probably be a
general survey, not an in-depth examination. But the study of
philosophy does require you to think, to stretch your mind, and to
accept that there are many truths, not just one. <br>
<br>
Good luck in your studies. The world needs philosophers to think about
and find answers to the big questions of life!
