Reflective Assignment
In this paper I will talk about what I learned in this class. When I registered to take
this class, I really didn’t know what I would learn about. The first day of the class, I kind
of had an idea, but I was still not sure of what we would talk about.
What I learned in this class was how people thought how people believed in the world.
We studied a lot of people and their views. We had a lot of reading, we had vocabulary
quizzes to learn terms, and we had unit tests. I thought that Kant was a very interesting
person. I learned the definitions of a lot of terms that I have never heard before. For
example, Coherence Theory.
Another person that I thought was interesting was John Rawls in his views. I thought
that it was interesting that what he called original position, the imaginary setting in which
we can identify the fundamental principles of justice from an object.
I also think that I had a great instructor he really had a lot of knowledge in what he was
talking about. The people of philosophy, he made it fun and exciting. Plato was
interesting. All of the people that my professor talked about were interesting. I learned
that I have to read better, and study better, even though I studied but not the right stuff.
In conclusion, I learned a lot of different people, and how they viewed the world and
their different views and how they lived, especially early on in the B.C.E. time period. I
would take another class in philosophy, well maybe.
