A LIST, OR A FEW SENTENCES, SUFFICE TO ANSWER EACH QUESTION. IF YOU WRITE LONGHAND AND SUBMIT A SCAN, MAKE SURE THAT THE SCRIPT IS LEGIBLE.
1. What are three respects in which the study of philosophy differs from the study of, for example, biology? (The question refers to Video 1. I am not asking how philosophy differs from, say, biology. I am asking how THE STUDY of philosophy differs from THE STUDY of, for example, biology.)
2. What three things does Sober say that philosophers do? (Oddly, Sober refers to these as ‘Three Theories about Philosophy.’)
3. Is Euthyphro’s father, in your view, guilty of murder? I repeat: MURDER. Why or why not?
4. Why is Socrates dissatisfied with Euthyphro’s first answer to ‘What is piety?’ (The answer is found at 5e – 6d of the dialogue.)
5. If you don’t give your money to help those who are hungry, as the man who gave everything would, does that mean you’re selfish, and hence immoral? Why or why not? (Your answer should indicate something about your understanding of the nature of morality.)
