Ginas school's description of

Introduction to Philosophy

A study of the basic issues and traditions in Philosophy. Thinkers include: Socrates, Plato, Descartes, Kant, Rawls. Issues include: soul, truth, god, reality, knowledge, ethics, mind, freedom, religion, social and political thought.

This course will consist of a series of lectures followed by discussions of the topics at issue. Students are encouraged to participate in the discussions. Students will not be graded based upon their participation in the classroom discussion but their understanding of the material and their ability to present reasoned discourse will improve if they do so participate.

Objectives:

To enable a student to:

(a) identify and comprehend traditional and current issues in Philosophy;

(b) define the main areas of Philosophic discourse, especially metaphysics and epistemology;

(c) discuss theories of Knowledge, of Truth, of Mind, of Personal Identity, and Free Will and Determinism, of Soul, Deity;

(d) develop skills of critical analysis.

I would say "C" is where she got into trouble, and where the extra credit assignment originated.

i guess most christians will fail miserably at c &d


so she most likely will be sent home reprimanded for wasting the courts time ...just as the op has lured all these unsuspecting innocents into her web of treachery
and wasted their time.... well ok they had a little hand (or some fingers) in it too lmao
muaaahahahahahahhahaahahahhahaaaaa

The particular chapter Determinism from the online text!

http://www2.sunysuffolk.edu/pecorip/SCCCWEB/INTRO_TEXT/Chapter%207%20Freedom/Freedom_Determinism.htm


A presentation of the basic position of determinism.

There are laws that govern all physical events. Humans are physical and human actions are physical events. All events have their causes in prior events and the laws that govern the physical universe. Human actions are behaviors. Human behaviors are the result of their inherited genetic pattern, their chromosomes, and their basic physical drives and their prior experiences (conditioning, learned behaviors). All humans are animals and as such they have a drive for food, drink, sex, and rest. All humans have learned other behaviors from their interactions with their physical and social environments (other people). Humans have been conditioned by deliberate and accidental patterns of stimulus response reinforcements. Humans have been rewarded or punished for their behaviors. Humans repeat those behaviors they are rewarded for and avoid those behaviors they have been conditioned to associate with punishment. The conditioning may have been deliberate with hugs and kisses and food from parents for good behavior and frowns and scolding and denial of food or other experiences for behavior that was not to be repeated. Teachers in school act in a similar pattern offering rewards and punishments and so they condition our behavior as well. Siblings and friends act likewise towards us. So humans are the products of physical factors. All human actions are caused by those prior factors. Each of us knows that humans have behaviors that are predictable. The determinists believe that when they have greater knowledge of the laws of human behavior they will be able to:

A letter from a student at Ginas school.


I would just like to like to say that there are 2 sides of this story. i may not know the altercation between gina and prof. pecorino, but i am currently taking the his class (philosophy of religion) and in no way, shape or form, does he denounce the existence of God. if anything, being in his class has made me believe in God's existence. I came into this course skeptical and almost borderline-atheist (and my family are devout Christians) Whenever you make a statement about your beliefs, all he asks is some sort of proof (concrete or not) to support your idea. thus, its difficult for me to believe that prof. pecorino has "punished" anyone for believing in God. our class spends hours debating on various aspects of religion, including the existence of God. so before you crucify him for the alleged crime he has done against gina, maybe we should investigate the source of blame. why is gina failing? there are hundreds of students that has debated with pecorino on god's existence. but never has he ever claimed if there was a right way. if you don't believe me, maybe you should read up on the sources we read throughout the semester. not once has he said "there is no god". as a philosophy professor, he only asks his students to do critical thinking on the information they were given then asks his students to accept its ideas after investigation.

As you can see the course was not mandatory. She could have chosen from others!

Ok, continue the argument!!

Please, it is very interesting to me!!

muaaahahahahahahhahaahahahhahaaaaa

of course she could have!!! but maybe the times were not compatible with her devotions....oh oh oh !! mia culpa mia culpa mia maxi ma culpa

lmao

Oh baby! oh baby OH BABY!!! i just adore it when you get on your knees like that!! lmao

Imagine the uproar had she chosen World Religions??

well my post was deleted...because the op was sooo intimidated by my humour she took insult and reported me....


so it appears that the op likes this game... can relate to Gina...but has no problem stifling someone elses right to freedom of speech....


oh oh oh ....not to mention insulting all of one's senses with her cleavage...jeez woman!

get some dignity!

Lindy's convictions are very strong. Even though I do not agree with her most of the time, I do respect her!

hmmmmm don't know her well enough to decide if i respect 'her', i don't respect her point of view though ...which is different than respecting her right to have it...

I agree with you on that Fanta. By the way good research there on the issue. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

You might be right dear.


Maybe the true motivation of this thread has already been exposed. No need for an answer from the one that's ignoring me. Everyone else here can read the thread and make up their own minds.

I'm sure the sun is still shining in Saudi Arabia!

Thanks Rathil_Thads

Dont quit kid!

I find this thread interesting!!!
