Philosophy...
May. 24th, 2004 04:37 pmMy teacher just got his doctoral dissertation published in the spring (I think) of 2003, so he's a new PhD...and I would never have guessed, since he's so unassuming about it. I think he's probably in his mid to late thirties. He said the law of non-contradiction is basic to meaningful philosophy, so we're off to a good start in that class.=) And Chris from Western Civ. is also in that class, along with a bunch of other younger people. I guess a lot of people are taking summer classes. It's going to be interesting to see the same people every weekday for five weeks!
Our computer was down Saturday and most of Sunday, so that's why I didn't post...not that it would have made much difference since I don't post often, but...
Anyway, my health is finally returning, for which I am VERY, VERY grateful!!! I was able to sing with the choir yesterday as we practiced for and then did a one-hour (or so) program. I did get breaks from singing, though, while I accompanied the children. LOL! Some breaks! Exercising fingers or voice...which is better? Sometimes I'm not sure.
I just picked up Lee Strobel's "Case for Faith" from the Christian bookstore. Excellent book...addresses all the common arguments from a philosophical and scientific perspective. Very pertinent not only to the issues in Francis Schaeffer's "The God Who Is There" (which we've been doing in Sunday school) but also to the stuff in my philosophy textbook.
So...time to go. I really should go to the store, the library, and the bank before I return home to do my philosophy homework for tomorrow.=) Bye!
