Questions are significant and are essential to the process of both thinking and then re-
thinking about the important issues and questions of life. On page 12 in Sophie’s World,
the author posits an interesting theory: “… the only thing we require to be good
philosophers is the faculty of wonder.” (Gaarder 12). He then follows this up with
another thought-provoking statement: “Philosophers … believe that man cannot live by
bread alone. Of course, everyone needs food. And everyone needs love and care. But
there is something else–apart from that–which everyone needs, and that is to figure
out who we are and why we are here” (Gaarder 14).

Please use the information in the course readings and videos to answer the following
questions:
1. How important were “questions” to the philosophers you have been introduced to?
What does your textbook say about the development of philosophy and its
relationship to “questioning” behavior?
2. Choose two of the philosophers discussed in the readings and/or videos. What
were some of the important questions that each one of these philosophers asked
about their world and attempted to answer?
3. Do you have any additional “wonder” questions to add to the list developed by
these early philosophers?
4. Of the many questions listed, which ones seem to be most important to you? Why?
5. What questions do you have that you think a course in philosophy will help to
answer?
Write your response posts (min: 200 words each) and post them on or before the
posted due date.
Respond to two of your fellow students (min: 200 words each). In both responses,
greet the student by name. Reflect on what they have written. Then add the
perspective of a new philosopher (not discussed in their essay or in your essay or in
your other response post) to add depth to their post. How does the new philosopher
you have chosen answer the questions? In what ways is this philosopher similar to
and/or different from the philosophers they discussed? Use at least 1 of the assigned
sources (e-book, textbook, videos) for week 3. Verify use of the source with properly
formatted citations (both in-text and works cited) in both response posts.
