Arguments about Religion

Arguments about Religion

Our discussion for this meeting will focus on the variety of arguments about religious belief while considering ethics, metaphysics, and epistemology. This will be open discourse so the structure and content of our conversations will largely be determined by participating students. Some of the discussion questions/ideas include: confronting the morality of behavior and prescriptions within religious texts, religious pedagogy and children, and the classic arguments for God including the ontological, the teleological, and the cosmological arguments. Come out for philosophical discussion and pizza at our next Philosopher's Guild meeting!

Non-Academic Career Options for Philosophy Majors

What are YOU going to DO with that?

Thursday November 11, 2010

University Center Room 245

5:30pm – 7:00pm

You don’t want to teach Philosophy? Don’t want to be a stereotype? Want to prove you parents wrong about your employability? You’re majoring in philosophy, but you’re out of sarcastic answers to the question, “What are you going to DO with that?!” Come research your options and understand how to transition from college to the world of work with Phil Rockwell, a Career Counselor for University Career Services at GSU.

Central to a successful transition is a clear understanding of how to research careers related to a degree in Philosophy. How do you know where to start? How do you research industries, organizations, job titles, salaries, etc.? How can you tie this knowledge into a career plan you design to follow for life?

Phil Rockwell’s pro-active and integrative approach to understanding yourself, career paths you may wish to pursue, and keys to successfully bridging college to the world of work will help you understand and begin now. An overview of the process, resources and research will be presented. Students are encouraged to pursue individual career counseling when necessary.

Yes, we will have pizza!
