On March 17th when we share our results, you are required to summit a summary of your journal, in digital form via email.This summary should include: (1) your questions for each reading, (2) any special insights or drawings from your journal you wish to share, and (3) a philosophical distillation of your questioning practice.
The philosophical distillation involves two parts.
The first is this: I want you to reflect on some occasion when some idea from this class became relevant in your ordinary life.What was that connection? Search your mind/heart for one of the ways that ideas we discussed in class seemed to be relevant to something you were experiencing or deciding or facing in your everyday, non-academic life.Write about this.
The second element is this: What’s your question? We’ve tackled many different questions so far. I want you to review everything we’ve covered so far, and to locate your curiosity.What is it that you most want to understand, to know, to grasp? Write about this before you turn it in for review. If you choose to write a paper for your final term project, you will use this journal to develop your Question.
