On Wednesday I attended the first meeting of the philosophy circle. My own prejudice had me assume that the only people concerned with such a club would be middle-aged men and myself, an 18-year old Christian with plenty of tendencies to see things through philosophical eyes. As I entered the room I was surprised to find many college students prepared to give some input on their beliefs. The words were dripping out of their mouths, “capitalistic, Kabala, logic, experience…”. One man admitted he was there because he loved to argue for the sake of arguing, hoping that in the process of questioning every person they too would re-evaluate their beliefs and hopefully have a more critical enthusiasm in their search for Truth. A modern Socrates, dressed in a black t-shirt and fubu jeans.
However, it was a bit disorganized. People already began starting to argue when their was no reason to. A paper was passed around, giving the defenitions to some words such as Axiology, Methodology, Metaphysics and so on. It also explained the method for presenting valid reasoning. One guy jumped on that and the whole room was starting to get anxious. Especially the women, they were all over their place, especially that one hispanic lawyer lady. She was pretty annoying.
This is going to be fun.
Haha, dude that’s sweet! I always like to settle an argument with these. looks at fists ...That’s the best way. but I’ll admit it ain’t so good for group discussions. sigh Darn policemen are always breaking up a good brawling session.
