Found a friend on Facebook that I took 1st year philosophy with. Haven't spoken to her for ages but she's awesome and really good fun. She's one of those rare people you just instantly "click" with and no matter how often (or in our case not so often) you e-mail or meet up, it's just to pick it up and continue from where you left it. Great girl! She reminded me of philosophy and how much I enjoyed taking the courses at Shef Uni (apart from Philosophy of Space and Time which was just "duh?") and that Philosophy is everywhere and everything... This is a good example that I've stolen from her facebook page...
from Grey's Anatomy..
Christina, holding the key Burke gave her to his apartment:What is this?
Burke: It's a key
Christina: Why?
Burke: Why is it a key? Are we feeling existential this morning?
This is such a good example to use when teaching. It helps students (and me) to think about stuff that relates to our world and not perhaps something that happened x-thousands of years ago. Same goes for RE and literature etc.
Thanks Laura for reminding me!!!
