Discussion Post
• Part I: Pick any idea in this week's material that interests you and post your philosophical thoughts on it.
As a way to help you study for the quiz, take a look at the reading guide published in this module. The quiz will be based on the topics highlighted in the guide. So you can pick one of those topics to write about and this will help you to prepare for the quiz. Of course, it requires that you do the discussion before the quiz. :-)
• Part II: Respond critically when you comment on the post of one (or more) members of the class. This means: give an argument to support your view.
I would like to discuss Socrates's argument about goodness. His ethical theory connects morality, God, the soul, life after death, and reason all together. Although I agree that reason, especially critical thinking ability, plays an important in judging goodness, I do not agree that morality is a supreme existence that connects to God and life after death. In my opinion, I think morality matters because they are created by human beings and used to guide our behavior. If morality links to God and life after death, then why it only matters to human beings instead of all the other species existing in the world, like birds and tigers?
