1. Is our culture suffering from a kind of philosophical illiteracy? Cite specific examples and identify patterns to support your answer. 2. If you could make only one improvement in the American educational system, what would it be and why? 3. Are there better reasons for studying philosophy than just meeting some academic requirement? If yes, what are they? If no, why not? Don't be hesitant to give your honest opinion. 4. What is the difference between knowledge and belief? How are they related? 5. Popular and historical conceptions of the wise man usually present him as an elder. Do you think this is accurate? Is the notion of a wise young person somehow flawed? Explain, citing examples. 6. How would you explain what philosophy is to someone who did not already know?
