FOCUS MIDTERM, Part II

Okay, for all in my Philosophy class, I want to be clear that the decision to have a take-home, essay midterm does NOT mean that you are not responsible for all of the material. It hit me today that we have covered A LOT of ground, and I want to make sure you know it. So, let me review what you should know. At the least, know that all of these will be on final, final exam. Also, the more you show mastery--or shall I say "arete"--in these topics, the better your midterm essays will be.

So here is a brief list of things you should know from what we have covered:

-the meaning of Plato's allegory of the Cave
-Plato's view of the health of the soul (the 3 parts of the soul)
-the 4 pursuits of philosophy... the True, the Good, the Beautiful, the One
-the idea of the soul, the "I" which remains through all my physical changes
-the proofs for the existence of God
-subjectivism, conventionalism, objectivism
-Natural Law
-a priori vs. a posteriori
-Deontology
-Utilitarianism ("act" utilitarianism and "rule" utilitarianism)
-Virtue Ethics
-The Greek Virtues
-The Roman Virtues
-The Cardinal Virtues
-The Golden Mean
-Askesis
-Eudaimonia
-The Theological Virtues
-The 7 Deadly Vices (sins)
-The Sport Theory of Ethics
-The Garden Theory of Ethics
-The Tests of Virtue Ethics (Arete, Telos, Social and Fruits)

Now, if you can think of other topics covered I missed here, post up a comment and throw 'em in there
