I reject your reality and substitute my own

200 level

An introduction to issues in the fundamental branches of philosophy: metaphysics, which considers the overall framework of reality; epistemology, or the theory of knowledge; and related problems in the philosophy of science. Topics in metaphysics may include: mind and body, causality, space and time, God, freedom and determinism; topics in epistemology may include perception, evidence, belief, truth, skepticism.

The readings weren't required oddly enough

I think IB or AP does Theory of Knowledge in HS

So then what did you get graded on. Let me guess, you never read anything and never contributed to class discussion

L Ron would not be happy

We had two exams and one essay, and tutorial. I was active in the tutorial but didn't REALLY know my shit, so my contributions weren't worth much. I also totally forgot the midterm date and had to take it without studying. Most of the class did poorly on that exam so it was reduced to 5% of the grade. My essay was a week late, but I would have done well on it if it wasn't. I think I did well enough on the final to pass though.

Even if I was serious, at the time it was probably impossible for me to grasp some of that stuff. Or at least think of how it could be rendered concrete. I haven't given up on it though and occasionally go over the material.

Philosophy isn't for everybody and some of the stuff is annoyingly written/dehse but it's really interesting imo. Especially the sort of stuff in that class

I don't think you need to be a geometer to get it, but maybe having a more matured personality can help.

There is also annoying stuff like, "what happens to a coherentist when everything coheres"
