Topics of this game:
- Who claimed that a good person cannot be harmed (at least not in the way that really matters)?
- One philosopher we discussed clearly and strongly emphasized the "principle of intelligibility" or "principle of rationality"- that reality must ultimately make sense. As a result, whatever is plainly irrational cannot be real. Who was that?
- Who said that justice is "the advantage of the stronger," a claim Dr. Kennedy summarized in class with the slogan "might makes right"?
- Who claimed that it is better for you if someone proves that you're wrong than for you to prove that the other person is wrong?
- One philosopher thought that it is the weak who make moral rules. Morality is a human invention through which the "weak" look after their own interests, trying to exert control over the "strong." Who was that?
- One philosopher argued that conflict is necessary, going so far as to say that if all conflict ended, the world would cease to exist. Who was that?
- Zeno's paradoxes use an argument form which shows that an assumption leads to a contradiction. Thus, the assumption must be false. What name do we give to this type of argument?
- Who introduced the idea that there is a universal "logos," a "thought which steers all things," which is imminent in all things and orders all things?
- Who said that "the many are related by the One"?
- One philosopher claimed that all things are number. Dr. Kennedy interpreted this view in class as an assertion that reality can be expressed in mathematical terms, or that "math is the language of nature." Who was that?
- Who said that "the unexamined life is not worth living"?
- Who said that "Man is the measure of all things"?
- Who said: "You cannot step into the same river twice"?
- Parmenides argued that nothing ever changes; the changes we think we see are illusions. Before summarizing his argument, Dr. Kennedy said that he made a crucial assumption. Grand him that assumption, and you will likely be forced to accept his conclusion. What was that key assumption?
- What is the main point of Zeno's story about the millet seed?
