What does it mean to be human? Psychological, sociological, political, scientific perspectives How do we know? Don Tapscott, “It’s not what you know, it’s how you think” http://myclass.peelschools.org/sec /12/36479/Homework/Short%20W orks%20Unit/Non%20Fiction/Don%2 0Tapscott%27s%20Speech.pdf

Socrates (469-399 BCE) “the unexamined life is not worth living” Note-taking exercise: Listen to the story of Socrates and write down the 3 most important points. Jacques-Louis David, “The Death of Socrates” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socrates

Plato (428-348 BCE) Plato was a student of Socrates who wrote down his dialogues. One of the most famous is the “Allegory of the Cave.” http://webspace.ship.edu/cgboer/platoscave. html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69F7GhAS OdM

Reading exercise Study strategies books suggest 5 steps for reading in order to extract information from a text. 1. Survey 2. Question 3. Read 4. Recite 5. Review

The Matrix Socrates’ question has been updated in a recent movie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8e- FF8MsqU How is the matrix like the shadows in Plato’s cave?

What do you see? Should we doubt everything? (even what we see)! http://plus.maths.org/content/visual-curiosities-and-mathematical- paradoxes

What is real is in the mind! From the study guide: Socrates says “education” (cultural formation) is like being in a cave since childhood. Why? Pink Floyd, "We Don't Need No Education" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwTpZpwjtIE Plato’s solution was to say that there is a reality beyond our senses. For example: think of a circle The most accurate description of a circle is the idea expressed in the equation: (x-a)2 + (y-b)2 = r2 http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/circle-equations.html

Knowledge through senses Aristotle had the opposite idea: Aristotle: “All men by nature desire to know” Metaphysics Book 1 http://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/metaphysics .1.i.html What you see is what you get!
