Comment on the reactions of others

Here are a few questions to get the ball rolling. Did you know that the first Harry Potter book, which is called "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in the United States, was originally titled "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in England? The titled was changed because the publisher didn't think American audiences would react very well to the term "philosopher." Do you have that reaction?

As you read this week's material, think about how you would explain what philosophy is to someone who didn't know anything about the subject. Do you think it's possible to discover "the truth" about the world and our place in the world? If not, why not? If so, do you think philosophy offers a means to help us understand that truth, or should we be doing science or studying religion instead? Develop your own reactions to these questions and consider and comment on the reactions of others.
