Assessment Instructions<\/h3>\n

Write an essay in which you express and defend your views on the following issues:<\/p>\n

\n
• Consider the rise of modern science during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.\n
  \n
  • How did Enlightenment philosophers both defend and contribute to this cultural development?<\/li>\n
  • How did elements of scientific reasoning alter conceptions of the origin and limits of human knowledge?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
  • Explain the difference between intrinsic and instrumental goods and how modern science embodies an instrumental approach to the relationship between human beings and the natural world.\n
    \n
    • Is recognition of our proper place in the context of a vast and ancient universe an essential insight?<\/li>\n
    • How does it affect our understanding of ourselves?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Consider how philosophical and scientific reasoning make a difference to our daily lives. (Of course we all benefit from technological advances that came from these ways of thinking, but that is not the point here.)\n
      \n
      • In what situations or circumstances of ordinary life is it appropriate to apply philosophical or scientific thinking to seek a solution, resolve a conflict, or make a decision? Imagine you are invited to contribute a post on this topic to a blog about philosophy, like those that appear in The New York Times<\/em> blog The Stone<\/em>, the What Is it Like to be a Woman in Philosophy?<\/em> blog from WordPress, or Philosophy Now<\/em> magazine.<\/li>\n
      • How would you argue for (or against) the use of philosophical reasoning in everyday life?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
