Let’s work together to explore some of the major philosophical schools of thought. For 8 am Tuesday, please pick one item from the list below. For your post, research the school of thought and provide a synthesized overview. Include central tenets, prominent practitioners, developers, and perhaps detractors and their arguments. It would also be helpful if you presented a representative argument as a form of object lesson for us, your pupils. We will use class on Tuesday and your next post to practice applying these philosophies to different situations, examining ourselves as philosophical knowers and ferreting out the resultant knowledge questions.
Schools from which to choose (no doubling up): Empiricism, Rationalism, Structuralism, Existentialism, Skepticism, Romanticism, Stoicism.
