Assignment:
Describe your own philosophy of life, including your thoughts about metaphysics (What is reality?), epistemology (How do we know anything?), and ethics (What is the good life?). In the course of your essay, deal with the following issues: (1) Does life have meaning or is it absurd? If it has meaning, what gives it meaning? (2) What do you think of the future of humankind? Where are we going? (3) What is wisdom and how important is it for human beings? How does one become wise? Why do some people become wise and others not? (4) Pick someone from your own personal experience, from history, or from fiction who exemplifies your idea of wisdom. What is it about this person which makes him or her wise? Describe the attributes of the person.
Your answer must be in 8 to 10 pages, typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format.
