IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE YOU'VE READ AND FOLLOWED ALL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE EXAM. Please DO NOT SUBMIT OR CLOSE this test until you have completed your online exam and answered all four questions.

Fоr the lаst twо questiоns of the exаm: Pleаse pick JUST TWO of the 'Free Choice' question sets from the list below. Copy and paste the whole question set into the answer box, then respond to each part of that question set. Each is worth 1/3 of your midterm grade. You will enter your answers into text boxes below.   Free Choice - Question Set One During his trial, Socrates compares himself to a gadfly attached to the city of Athens, "as upon a great and noble horse which was somewhat sluggish because of its size" p.33 In your own words: Describe what actions Socrates was engaged in that got him in trouble with the law in the first place. That is, what crime was he accused of? Briefly describe then decode the metaphor. Explain what each element of the metaphor is meant to represent. Interpret the metaphor. What does this metaphor reveal about Socrates' view about the value of philosophy? Justify your answer with reasons. Do you agree with Socrates' view of the value of philosophy? Why or why not?   Free Choice - Question Set Two In “The Value of Philosophy” Bertrand Russell argues that those that do not see the value of philosophy, whom he calls 'the practical people,' have the “wrong conception about the ends of life” p.89 In your own words: Explain what Russell means by ‘ends of life’ here. Describe the practical person's view of the ends of life, and Explain why on this view, philosophy would not be valuable. Explain what Russell believes is the flaw with this view of the ends of life. Describe what is, according to Russell, the correct view about the ends of life, and Explain why that view supports the claim that philosophy is valuable. Justify your answer with reasons.   Free Choice - Question Set Three In "Education and Democratic Citizenship," Martha Nussbaum argues that public schools should be helping their students become ‘citizens of the world’. In your own words: Describe just one of the three skills or traits that Nussbaum believes are characteristic of a good citizen. Can taking philosophy courses help students cultivate the characteristic you described? Why or why not? Explain one way in which Nussbaum would agree with either Socrates’ or Russell’s view about the value of philosophy. Be sure to justify your answer with reasons. Explain one way in which Nussbaum would disagree with either Socrates’ or Russell’s view about the value of philosophy. Be sure to justify your answer with reasons.   Free Choice - Question Set Four As I presented it, René Descartes considers several skeptical possibilities that introduce different ‘levels of doubt’ in Meditation One. For instance, he considers the possibility that you might be dreaming. In your own words: Explain the argument. Why should you believe it is possible that you are dreaming right now? If he is right (and you might be dreaming), which beliefs would that possibility cast into doubt? Give two examples. Explain why this skeptical possibility calls those beliefs into doubt. Which (if any) of your beliefs can you still be certain of, even though it is possible that you are dreaming? Give an example if you can.* Explain why this skeptical possibility does not call that belief into doubt. NOTE: * This question is about what he says in Meditation One… so you should not discuss any of his examples of knowledge from Meditation Two. Just focus on his discussion of dreaming from Meditation One.    Free Choice - Question Set Five In Meditation Two, we find perhaps the most famous argument in all of philosophy: Descartes’ Cogito Argument (‘I think therefore I am’). In your own words: Describe the argument. Explain as fully as possible what this argument means, Explain what Descartes believes this argument reveals about the philosophical view named Skepticism. Do you believe Descartes argument was successful? Why or why not?   Free Choice - Question Set Six The threat of Skepticism looms large to this day, though its shape has changed over the years. Likely as a result of Descartes' arguments, those who once would have been 'Global' Skeptics are now 'External World Skeptics'. Philosopher G.E. Moore had a clever refutation of their view. In your own words: Explain what 'Global Skepticism' and 'External World Skepticism' (henceforth EWS) are. Describe G.E. Moore's 'proof' against EWS. Explain why this seemingly silly argument is actually quite clever--explain what is really going on in his argument. Are you convinced by his argument? Why or why not?   Free Choice - Question Set Seven One of our most powerful tools for generating knowledge is science. In his article, “The Problem of Induction,” Bertrand Russell argues that there is, well, a problem with induction. That problem casts doubt on all of our scientific knowledge. In your own words: Explain what induction is, Explain Russell’s argument that there is a problem with induction. Explain why if Russell is right and there is a problem with induction, that this would cast doubt onto much of our alleged scientific knowledge. Do you agree with Russell that the Problem of Induction calls that body of knowledge into doubt? Why or why not?
