1. What is the value of the discipline of philosophy? Is it truly possible to know ultimate truths about the nature of ultimate reality, the existence of God, and the meaning of life?2.

If no philosopher has impressed (which is fair enough!) please tell us why they all failed.4. What discussion or argument made in a previous course has impressed you or intrigued?
