1. Ask the students to rank, from 1 to 8, the following activities according to how important they think each is
for their happiness (1 is the most important on the list and 8 is the least important on the list). It can be helpful
to prepare this list before the session and make a copy for each student.

_____ Eating your favorite food.


_____ Playing a game.
_____ Reading a book.
_____ Sitting in a dentist’s chair.
_____ Listening to or playing music.
_____ Having fun with a friend or friends.
_____ Volunteering or helping someone with something they need.
_____ Thinking.

Now ask students to share their rankings. What were the first two or three, and what was last?

Why did they choose the ones they did for what was most important and least important?
Many students will rank activities like having fun with a friend, playing a game, and eating your favorite
foods as the most important for happiness. Sitting in a dentist’s chair tends to be the activity ranked by
most students as the least important for happiness. Ask them why. Often, they will describe visiting the
dentist as not a particularly pleasurable activity. But are happiness and pleasure the same things? Are all
things that make us feel good important for our happiness? And are there things important for happiness
that are not pleasurable? This can lead to discussions about such topics as long-term versus short-term
happiness, the relationship between feeling happy and happiness, the role of satisfaction in happiness,
and whether happiness is important.

2. Count name of 5 people that you most love, respect, appreciate or support you?
Does your list include yourself?

3. Divide into two group and debate over pros and cons of over studying? One group make argument on
positive effects of studying excessively while the other argue on negative side of it. Each group are
supposed to give logical reasoning for their perspectives.
Activity 1

Read the following claims and decide whether they fit the criteria for justified true belief. Are they
necessarily knowledge claims?

 Amy thinks that Great Britain is part of the European Union because she watched a documentary about
it on television.

 Tom thinks that Great Britain is part of the European Union because Santa Claus told him so in a
dream.

 Chris thinks that Mount Everest is 8848 m high because he read it in a Geography book.

 Anil thinks that Josh is in the library because he has just seen him in there.

Tom’s claim for knowledge seems unlikely. It may be that Tom is correct in thinking that Great Britain is
part of the European Union but his justification that Santa Claus told him in a dream, is weak. In fact
Amy’s belief seems more likely because her justification for believing that Britain is in the European
Union seems stronger – she saw a documentary. Tom has a problem with the justification for his belief,
whereas Amy’s claim seems to fit the criteria for justified true belief. But does it? Documentaries can be
wrong and if this documentary is wrong then her justification is also weak.

Chris’s claim that he read the information in a Geography book seems strong justification for his belief in
the height of Mount Everest. But is it? How do we know that Everest is 8848m high at this moment? The
earth shifts and changes, snow melts and forms, rocks fall. Similarly, Anil has seen Josh in the library but
is Josh still there? He might have seen Richard, Josh’s brother

Task for topic “Man”

1. Describe yourself as a character in a novel. Describe the gestures, postures, revealing habits,
characteristic word phrases you use. Try to imitate yourself, by way of parody. What kind of person
would you describe yourself as being?

2. Explain who you are to a visitor from another planet.

3. Who are you? Compare the descriptions you would provide

a. On a job application.

b. On a first date.

c. In a talk with your parents, as you are trying to tell them what you have decided to do with your life.

d. In a trial with you as the defendant, trying to convince the jury of your “good character.”

e. As the “I” in the statement “I think, therefore I am” (Descartes).


4. What is involved in being a “human being”? What (or who) would be included in your
characterization? What (or who) would be excluded?

5. Is it ever possible to know—really know—another person? Imagine what it would be like to suspect
that you can never know another person’s true feelings, that all his or her movements and gestures are
intended to fool you and that you can no longer assume that what the individual means (for example, by
a smile or a frown) is what you mean by the same outward movement. How do you feel about this?
1. How “real” are the following items? (Rate them on a scale from 1 to 10, where 10 is most real, 1 is least
real.)
The person sitting next to you ———
The chair you are sitting in ———
God ———
The planet Uranus ———
Beethoven’s music ———
The headache you had last night ———
Human rights ———
Electrons ———
The woman or man in (not “of”) your dreams ———
Angels ———
The number 7 ———
Water ———
Ice ———
Love ———
Beauty ———
Genes ———
The theory of relativity ———
Einstein’s brain (when he was alive) ———
Einstein’s ideas ———
Your own mind ———
The color red ———
A red sensation (in your own mind) ———
“Unreal numbers” ———
The NFL ———
Your own body ———
Your soul ———

2. Do you believe that the earth is flat and does not move, while the stars, sun, moon, and planets circle
around it in more or less regularly shaped orbits? If not, why not? (If so, why?)

3. If a tree falls in the forest when there’s no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? Why or why
not? If no one ever sees, hears, or touches the tree itself, what sense does it make to say that the tree is
“real”?

4. Does the universe itself have a purpose? If so, what is this purpose? If not, is it, as some modern
philosophers have argued, just a universe of “matter in motion”—particles and electromagnetic fields
acting according to the laws of physics?
