Philosophizing
This Friday’s Philosophy Club meeting will be about human duty. Is there such a thing? Do we automatically inherit it the moment we are born? Are we morally obliged to reproduce? Why should we be ‘good’ human beings? What does being a ‘good’ human being mean, anyway?
If at this point you’re feeling overwhelmed by these questions, don’t worry: it’s normal. Philosophy is all about questioning what you think you know, which can be a little nerve-racking. However, probing your beliefs and taking responsibility over your actions is the only way to ensure you live sensibly. Western culture appears to be deeply infatuated with the notion of freedom, but we often forget we cannot escape our limitations. Would you rather become a slave to your ignorance, or acknowledge your limitations and exploit your full abilities?
Friday March 22, 5-6pm, T4105.
