1. Albert Einstein claimed that "the cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest motive for scientific research." How do you interpret this claim?
2. Heraclitus said, "You cannot step into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing on." How does this statement help illustrate his belief that "all is change"?
3. Nozick argues the libertarian position that redistributing individual wealth to create a safety net for socially disadvantaged individuals is not fair to wealthy individuals. Take the case of America's social security system. Do you think that Nozick is correct that this system is a violation of individual rights, or do you think that society is better off with a safety net? Explain.
