Week 2 Discussion 1 - The Value of Philosophy

JCCMI- Phil Week 2 Dis 1

Post a short summary of an argument found in “The Value of Philosophy”. Start with a claim that Russell makes and defends. Try to include in your summary every relevant reason that Russell gives for his belief and try not to include any reason that is irrelevant to his belief.  

After first writing, ask yourself whether you find the argument convincing. If you do, try to think of how someone could object to it; if you don’t, try to think of what more Russell might say to convince you. If you think of something, add it to the summary before you post it.
