Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I have to read 3 chapters by 5:30 in my Principles of Economics text book and do various textbook problems and supplementary short answers.

I also don't know what room/building my class is in.




And yes, this is my method of procrastination.

where is your class at? it's in the evening?

My class is at North Central from 6-10:30. I'm also taking Philosophy on Thursdays at the same time. I really don't understand why every class has to be 4.5 hours long, though...

BTW (by the way) I finished the first chapter .

Good job.

is ur book by besanko?

Nope... my book is by Mankiw. It came all the way from India and conveniently got here the day before my class. It's fancy... it has faux-leather and metal corners.

luls. sounds exotic

wow, you have summer school? 0_0 that's a really good idea, actually. if i'd done that during high school, i could have saved so many hundreds of dollars. -____-

I'm working on my philosophy homework right now. This textbook (Philosophy: The Quest for Truth by Louis P. Pojman) is so dense. This author uses way too many descriptive words... it makes me love the econ textbook

....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HAVE THAT TEXTBOOK. I had to read that for PHIL 101 too.

You don't like it?

Well I think the author of the book uses too much flowery language, but the focus of the book so far has been on writings of past famous philosophers. Right now I'm reading part of "The Apology" by Plato, which is about the trial of Socrates. It's actually quite humorous because Socrates is so cocky.

Philosophy is really hard and I don't understand Aristotle and Kant. To me everything they say is based on circular reasoning.

From what has been said, it is clear that all moral conceptions have their seat and origin completely a priori in the reason, ad that, moreover, in the commonest reason just as truly as in that which is in the highest degree speculative; that they cannot be obtained by abstraction from any empirical, and therefore merely contingent knowledge; that it is just this purity of their origin that makes them worthy to serve as our supreme practical principle, and that just in proportion as we add anything empirical, we detract from heir genuine influence, and from the absolute value of actions; that it is not only of the greatest necessity, in a purely speculative point of view, but is also of the greatest practical importance, to derive these notions and laws from pure reason, to preset them pure and unmixed, and even to determine the compass of this practical o pure rational knowledge, i.e. to determine the whole faculty of pure practical reason; and, in doing so, we must not make its principles dependent on the particular nature of human reason, though in speculative philosophy this may be permitted, or may even at times be necessary; but since moral laws ought to hold good for every rational creature, we must drive them from the general concept of a rational being.

Good job Immanuel Kant, you have successfully confuse me.

i accidentally wrote a run-on sentence once during 9th grade in honors english and it was an automatic F for the entire paper!

wow, that's pretty harsh
a single run on turns into a F o.O

HAHAHA yeah Kant's writing is super dense. -___- I remember being all ALKSDFJKSJDK; *insert keywords here* when I had to read that essay on the moral imperative. Aristotle is much easier to digest, imo.
