PHILOSOPHY?

• “RTF” - rich text format (immersion vs. targeted reading)

• No answers vs. too many answers (impatience? ‘ignorance’?)

• Opinions vs. informed opinions (critical reasoning)

• Think! (rote vs. meaningful learning) And think for yourself! (role of research)

• Identifying and appreciating the issues and sub-issues (knowledge vs. wisdom)

• Furthering the dialectic and dialogue (role of research again)

• Philosophy everywhere (e.g. scienti c method, sciences, Ph.D.)
