[ action / class / early evening ]
[Philosophy class today! It's the first class, so Lelouch is handing out a syllabus, the reading (a short essay by Descartes for class, and an essay by Locke to take home), and a study sheet that should help the students focus on the subject matter they're going to be talking about for a while.
[Your introduction to this introduction to philosophy will be epistemology: the study of knowledge itself. What is knowledge? How does knowledge relate to truth, or belief?
[The Descartes essay that everyone will be reading during class together talks about how knowledge is flawed. Since we perceive the world through our senses, and our senses are not infallible -- they can be tricked or misled -- the things you know can't be trusted. The only thing you can know, for certain, is that you exist. In some form.
[So good luck with all that.]
((ooc: No categories; just indicate "After", "Before", "During", in your subject header. This is going to be eventy, so students are encouraged to interact with each other, but Lelouch will also be tagging around. Class is from 4-5:30.))
