How can we tell the difference between insanity and insight?
We have another Weekly Discussion question! As usual, you
should do the assigned readings and then consider the question below. Read
Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” and watch the video on it that I have
provided in the Materials for the Four Units area, in Unit 3. The video will help you understand the point
that Plato is making. Look through some of the other materials that I have
provided, as you choose. After you’ve done the reading, post your first
response to this week’s question, by 11:59 pm, Thursday, March 21st. As before,
make sure you use at least one direct quotation from this week’s reading
assignment in your first post. By 11:59 pm, Sunday, March 24th, post your
second response, this time to a classmate’s comments. Be sure that you do at
least one of the following for each of your two posts:
*Be the first to post an answer to the question. (You get
extra credit if you do)
Agree, but then add to what someone else has already
said.(No “Me too” answers!).
Disagree with something already said, but explain why you
disagree.
Add a new element or new idea to the discussion.
Again, do not just agree, disagree, go off on an unrelated
tangent, or base your argument on “It’s just my opinion”. Give
reasons.
Here’s this week’s question:
We usually think that we know what’s real and what’s not,
but what if we meet someone who claims to have had an experience that has given
him some sort of special knowledge? Maybe he says that God spoke to him, or
perhaps he claims to have had some sort of revelation, or very powerful,
prophetic vision or dream. Or maybe he’s a scientist who claims that his
experiment has revealed some really startling and important results that sound
just crazy, or maybe he’s a uniquely gifted and original mathematician who has
worked out a proof that can answer a fundamental question of philosophy. How do
we know what to believe? How can we tell the difference between a person who
sees a truth that no one else can see, and someone who is just insane?
As in the past, make sure you post at least twice on this
one – and get both of your posts in by their due dates!
