There are a variety of questions on the midterm: some multiple choice, some short answers, different types of argument evaluation, a mini-essay, and extra credit. It covers everything we've gone over in class so far:
- Philosophy
-Definitions
-Doing philosophy - Arguments
-Evaluation: truth and support tests
-Types: deductive and abductive - Knowledge
-Definition: Plato says true belief doesn't equal knowledge
-Skepticism
-Descartes: uncertain of childhood beliefs, senses, and reasoning; certain he's thinking and he exists - God Stuff
-Evidentialism vs. nonevidentialism
-Design Argument: Paley's version, the abductive version, Hume's criticisms of the analogy & inductive versions
-Problem of Suffering: the logical (deductive) version, the free will theodicy, Hick's soul-building theodicy, evaluating greater good responses, the abductive (evidential) version
