• What philosopher or philosophy studied so far in this book has caused a fundamental change in your thinking/personal philosophy and why?
• What philosopher or philosophy studied so far has confirmed or supported your current thinking or personal philosophy and why? (i.e., your thinking has basically remained unchanged, and you have found that you already agree with one of the philosophers studied. Possibly, you perhaps have found that one of the philosophers studied has strengthened certain beliefs you already held.)
REFLECTION

Discuss how Susan Bordo’s challenge to Descartes’ rationalism (p. 277-78) might impact the empirical criterion of meaning presented by David Hume(p. 297-300). Do women “see” things differently than men? Can you provide any evidence? What about the title of a book like Men are from Mars; Women are From Venus? What does this suggest about differences between men and women? If we can only know what our senses tell us, are men and women living in the same universe?
