which further defines philosophy and examines its branches. After watching this and all of unit one's videos, you will have seen several graphical representations (or "mind mapsLinks to an external site.") of the field of philosophy and it's major branches and sub-branches. Much educational research has shown that visualizing concepts in this way (in addition to just reading about it) can help cement the ideas and their relationship to each other into your memory and help you understand them better. Other research has shown that if you create the mind map (rather than just passively look at one created for you) it can also greatly help you to remember and use this information more accurately.
Your assignment is to draw a mind map of the field of philosophy. This mind map must include the following terms:
- Philosophy
- Metaphysics
- Epistemology
- Ethics
- Logic (This is a hard one… you might have to research it on your own to get this one placed correctly!)
- Monism
- Dualism
- Empiricism
- Rationalism
- Skepticism
- Value Theories
- Aesthetics
Hand draw your idea map! (You can draw it on an iPad/computer but you'll have to print it out.) You can get as creative as you'd like (colors, pictures, etc.), or you can just do basic black shapes and text.
After completing it, take a selfie of you holding it that includes your face (this both helps me learn your names and ensures you drew your own and aren't sharing photos!) and submit it to me in any of the following ways:
- file upload on Canvas. Submit in jpg format… Canvas cannot display HEIC (Apple/iPad default format).
- URL of any major photo or video sharing site (Pinterest, YouTube, etc.)
- place the photo in a Google Doc and send me the URL (Be sure you've enabled "anyone can view" permissions)
