Philosophy (S. Aguiar)

Your task for this group project is to create a (live or filmed, if you wish) documentary about the philosophy to which you have been assigned.  Within your documentary you should include:

  • The genesis and history of the philosophy
  • A biography of the major philosopher
  • An explanation of the philosophy, translated into listener friendly terms
  • The influence of the philosophy (i.e., Nietzsche and Hitler)
  • The "fate" of the philosophy (is it still viable?  Who used the ideas? Did the ideas evolve?  What is the current status?)
This presentation will be graded individually, demonstrate evidence of your active participation. The group must also prepare and distribute a comprehensive study guide for the rest of the class.
