Monteunicorn posted:Socrates, Plato and Aristotle ---- Descartes, Hume and Kant Ugh. This is what made philosophy class miserable for me. I took it in community college (with admittedly a small background of personal study and thought), and that's exactly what we covered... with a major focus on the first three. Studying them all semester is a nightmare and I personally felt a waste of time. "If I tie my slave in a field for three days while I wait for the Roman Officials to arrive, and he dies, did I kill him?!??!" We tackled that riveting and relevant question for an entire day near the end of the year. Supremely frustrating. As the only person in the class who participated or stayed awake, I thought maybe I could convince our professor to cover something more interesting or applicable, like Santayana or Spinoza, but she wouldn't have it. Finally, she failed me in the class. Hating and failing in a subject I personally enjoyed and studied was one of the reasons I stopped going to school. I work at a factory now and I have no great regrets, wants, or aspirations. I guess you can go ahead and call me a philosopher.
