PERSONAL PHILOSOPHICAL OUTLOOK PRESENTATION
Objective – Provide an informative message which reflects your philosophical outlook on life each of the 5 major themes addressed in class (metaphysics, epistemology, political theory, theology, and ethics)
GUIDELINES
1)Create a personal philosophical outlook that synthesizesyour knowledge of philosophical concepts learned in class to your life.
Some things to think about when putting together your presentation:
- What content did you learn this year that resonates w/ you?
- What things are important in your life right now that may connect to what you’ve learned?
- How can you build upon the knowledge you’ve gained in this course for life in the future?
- Does your philosophy have a logical or practical application?
- What are the possible implications regarding your philosophy?
2)Choose a minimum of one source that reflects your philosophical outlook. How does it connect to knowledge gained in Philosophy class?
- How does this source (music, film, reading, passion, relationship, etc.) reflect your philosophical outlook
- Incorporate the “worldview” of the author(s) of the source(s)and analyze how it might explain their philosophy and/or connect with your “worldview.”
- How does your analysis of the author/source’s worldview help you gain empathy?
3)Use virtuous judgment with appropriateness of material
- No Rated “R” movies/clips (even if the clip is appropriate), foul language in music, etc.
b. Contact Mr. Wright w/ any concerns (if you’re unsure, ASK!)
