At the beginning of the course, you read two pieces about the value of studying, or doing, philosophy (Bertrand Russell's essay "The Value of Philosophy" and Rebecca Newberger Goldstein's article "Why Study Philosophy? To Challenge Your Own Point of View'"). Now that you are finishing a course in philosophy, read the article "Why We Should Require All Students to Take 2 Philosophy Courses" and answer the following: What reasons does Howard Gardner, the author of the article, offer for his argument that everyone should be required to take philosophy courses? Do you agree with his argument? Why or why not? And regardless of whether you agree that philosophy should be required, what have you gained/learned from taking a course in philosophy?
