Symposiums

     I found the symposiums that we had this week very informing. It was fun debating as a philosopher and having to explain their writings. It was even better because there was groups of people making it easier to prove your point because when one person starts to mess up, their fellow philosopher could help them.

     The arguments that we had in class were creative and made people have to think about what the person would say from their point of view. The whole discussion about cake really brought out a lot of debate. I personally like to debate with people because it forces you to learn the material needed to win. The car discussion was also a good debate topic. Plato and Aristotle both have great points about their personal views on life, virtues, justice, and wisdom. 
     
     The best part about arguing as both of them would probably have to be seeing that one day you represented one point of view, and the next class you had to defend the side that you were just going against. Both philosophers have strong beliefs that are very persuasive and accurate. No matter which philosopher you were, it gave you a chance to step in their shows and think like they did for a little while.
