WELCOME

Hi,

welcome to my Philosophy 100 blog. My name is Marisa and I'll be your blogger for the next four months. I'm majoring in Liberal Arts (this is my last semester......yaaay) with a concentration in Science. I'm planning on going to Hunter this Spring semester to do a double major in Nursing and French Literature. Philosophy 100 is definitely needed for both my Liberal Arts and Nursing majors and I have been 'dreading' taking this class and found all the excuses in the book not to take it until my last semester. I grumbled all the way to the registrars office trying to negotiate substitute classes that I can take. As you can tell, it didn't work. So, I sucked it up and went on the internet and find out all I can about philosophy, I even bought the book early to get a head start. As I began reading about Socrates and his views on life it became very interesting, so interesting that I didn't realize that I'd been back and forth between my computer and reading my book for hours. I hope to get a better understanding on the way philosophers think at those times and the impact on society. It will also be very interesting to see how modern day society view philosophers back then and see if they share the same views or if they have totally different ideas and concepts. Now I can honestly say Philosophy is my new found obsession (until something else comes along) and I will thoroughly enjoy this class.

HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY THE THREADS AND

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY....... :-)
