PHIL 101 SBU Philosophy & the Knowledge of History Discussion

 

I’m trying to learn for my Philosophy class and I’m stuck. Can you help?

Read the textbook from Page353-Page358. Please post an original comment for the two threads.

Thread 1: Galileo’s worldview does away with telos (purposes in nature). If nature has no inherent purposes, what should we live for? What is the point of life? Answer this question as though a friend were to ask it of you.

Thread 2: Copernicus presents a picture of the world that was revolutionary.Tell me about someone you know, from your knowledge of history, or your family, or from a movie…from anywhere in the world…that has made a contribution as revolutionary as the one that Copernicus made.
