@Richter
Apparently not all your atheist brethren agree with you.

I am highly interested in both politics and philosophy. Which should I major in? http://www.hendrixcampaign.com/2011/04/08/i-want-to-be-an-attorney-i-am-highly-interested-in-both-politics-and-philosophy-which-should-i-major-in/ http://www.hendrixcampaign.com/2011/04/08/i-want-to-be-an-attorney-i-am-highly-interested-in-both-politics-and-philosophy-which-should-i-major-in/#comments Fri, 08 Apr 2011 15:02:29 +0000 http://www.hendrixcampaign.com/2011/04/08/i-want-to-be-an-attorney-i-am-highly-interested-in-both-politics-and-philosophy-which-should-i-major-in/ I know that I can basically major in anything and still go to law school, but I want to either major in politics or philosophy due to my passionate interest in both.

Any advice on the subject?

The “questions” in the politics section are USUALLY NOT real questions and are subtle attempts to impose the asker’s view on others.

It’s really funny, but that bad part is that when you have a serious question no one takes it seriously and the people that answer answer with fallacious, invalid arguments.
I don’t think that getting in a heated argument about politics justifies the variety of logical fallacies I have encountered in the politics section.

Most of the answers I’ve seen there are personal attacks that don’t add strength or support to an argument or answer.
Personal attacks, red herrings, and straw men.

Does it cause anybody out there to shudder at the thought of a Mormon president? Does me.

Introduction: What is Political Philosophy? http://www.hendrixcampaign.com/2010/04/23/1-introduction-what-is-political-philosophy/ http://www.hendrixcampaign.com/2010/04/23/1-introduction-what-is-political-philosophy/#comments Fri, 23 Apr 2010 15:03:34 +0000 http://www.hendrixcampaign.com/2010/04/23/1-introduction-what-is-political-philosophy/
Introduction to Political Philosophy (PLSC 114) Professor Smith discusses the nature and scope of “political philosophy.” The oldest of the social sciences, the study of political philosophy must begin with the works of Plato and Aristotle, and examine in depth the fundamental concepts and categories of the study of politics. The questions “which regimes are best?” and “what constitutes good citizenship?” are posed and discussed in the context of Plato’s Apology. Complete course materials are available at the Open Yale Courses website: open.yale.edu This course was recorded in Fall 2006.

I’m planning on majoring in either politics or philosophy, and a minor in business. After i get my degree, would i be capable of getting hired or nonetheless get an interview with a firm or bank. Also, could a business internship help the situation?

I jsut wanna do waht everyone else does but instead I’m constantly distracted by all this crap in my head.
How do I distance myself from all this useless thinking and go on with my life?
