Philosophy Talk!
The Greek philosopher Socrates said that “an unexamined life is not worth living”. He also believed that the only way to obtain truth was to ask questions and that philosophers should engage other people by questioning things rather than make statements. This project assignment has two parts. First you need to describe the Socratic idea of obtaining the truth. What did Socrates, Plato and Aristotle think the best way to find a truth – both universal and personal?
Second you need to use the Socratic way of engagement and discuss this idea with another person. Your task is to engage in a conversation about “a life worth living” by raising questions. The discussion you have with a friend or loved one should be face to face, last at least 15 minutes, and you can only ASK questions of your discussion partner. Your follow up questions should build on your conversation partner’s statements. Once you complete this exercise, please write a reflection essay about this experience and what conclusions you drew from the discourse or conversation. Finally, reflect on whether or not the Socratic way of discourse directs you toward the truth about a life worth living.
Your submission should be 1 to 2 pages. Please submit polished work and use an essay format for your final submission (intro, content, and conclusion).
Be sure to note the date of your interview and the full name of the person you interviewed.
