Philosophy Challenge
Purpose: Philosophy and religion exist for the sole purpose of giving purpose and explaining how life works. They can be very useful when things aren't going so well and can make one's life significantly better. Personal philosophies can be by-products of where you live, "inherited" from your family or chosen by you.
Challenge Narrative: Pretend you are have just been zapped by the Men In Black stun device. The device has been set to remove all philosophical beliefs from your normally driven, purposeful brain. You no have no idea what the purpose of life is and are shopping around for a philosophy that make sense.
Challenge: You're going to be given one quotation at at time. All the quotes come from different philosophies. For each quote, you must 1) Find out who said the quote; 2) name the philosophy it came from; 3) explain exactly what the quote means, as simply as possible, and; 4) explain a time in your life the quote and it's underlying belief would have been useful. If your group finishes with a quotation, you will get another. You will be quizzed next class on the quotes' meanings.
