What Is Philosophy?
- The Beardsleys claim at the beginning of their essay that a reasonable belief is more likely true than one that is not. Is this a philosophical belief? Explore its logical connections to other beliefs they seem to hold and examine what reasons there are to think it true or false. Do they provide any justification for this belief?
- Write a dialogue of your own similar to Dialogues I and II. Then continue the line of questioning in your dialogue by analyzing a basic philosophical term.
- Do the Beardsleys make a good case for the value of the study of philosophy? Explain.
