Essay Question (Outline)
Of the 4 promts below, two will appear on the exam. You will be asked to write an essay outline
(full intro and 3 well-developed arguments in point form) to respond to the prompt. You may
prepare in advance (and should) but you may not bring any notes in to the exam with you.
1.Which is more important, the intentions behind or the consequences of our actions?
2. Is the “unexamined life” really not worth living?
3. Who has the better approach to understanding our world, in your opinion, the rationalists or
empiricists?
4. In teaching Sophie about the philosophical theories of George Berkeley, Alberto explains that
for Berkeley,“God is intimately present in our consciousness, causing to exist for us the profusion
of ideas and perceptions that we are constantly subject to...God is the one cause of everything
that exists. We exist only in the mind of God”. How does Berkeley’s theory relate to the story of
Sophie’s World. Be sure to include reference to Hilde, Sophie, Albert Knag, and Alberto Knox.
