Happy Half Term Holiday Homework

1.  Read Empiricism Handout: + complete exercises 

2.  Listen to & make notes on 'Hume - Enquiry' from Philosophy the Classics podcasts by the lovely Nigel Warburton. Find this at http://www.philclassics.libsyn.com/index.php?post_id=237714#

3. Listen to 'Barry Smith on Wittgenstein's Conception of Philosophy' at ‘Philosophy bites http://nigelwarburton.typepad.com/philosophy_bites/2008/01/barry-smith-on.html Don't make notes unless you feel the need. This is 'proper' philosophy stuff and you might find it hard to follow, but stick with it. (I'm not being patronising, anyone would find it hard to follow if they weren't familiar with ideas). Don't accept that others are cleverer than you because they're not. Mostly anyway.

4.  Revise what we've covered so far by reading all the blog and making numerous comments (unless you are st4kb). 

5. Organise your folders and make sure you've got everything you should have by visiting mrbrodie.com (I'm still building the philsophy bit so give it a couple of days!)

That's the kind of comment I like. Have you looked at my marvelous new philosophy web site? I've 'wasted' most of the holiday building it. Now I need to make it load a bit quicker.

I have also done my homework :) me and nicola did ours together, yay! And is school really closed tomorrow, Sir? Because of a pipe bursting or something?? Or is that just a wonderful rumour?

mrbrodie said...

It is a wonderful 'fact!' if such things exist. Although staff have to go and shiver.

Yay no school! Is it going to be closed for days or just tomorrow?
