Morality and Ethics (Module 2)
This week’s discussion deals with the philosophies of Socrates and Camus. Please consider and respond to the following two questions:
1. In what ways are Nietzche’s concept of amor fati similar to Socrates’ adage that “an unexamined life is not worth living?” Do you agree with either of these? Why or why not?
2. How is the College experience like Sisyphus’ punishment? What meaning / purpose do you find in the repetitiveness of the academic calendar? In what fundamental way(s) does the College experience differ from Camus’ Sisyphus?
