Philosophy is one of the most confusing modules ever.. FACT
Today at University, we had a lecture on the topic of Heidegger. Apparently he's an phenomenological existentialist who was primarily concerned with the concepet of 'existence over essence', (or so I think). The whole existentialist topic is confusing, but of course I mean this in a good way. Philosophy enables you to think about and questions things that you may not usually, such as the self and how parts of the world work.
In terms of existentialism, I guess that the work is harder than last semester, but I take this as a challenge accepted!
Philosophy is an amazingly diverse topic, and there is so so much to learn about! The question of the existence of a God, the problem of evil, dualism, material, reductionism! SO SO many interesting things! I have to say that one of my favourites philosophers so far has to be Nietzsche who proposed a concept of 'the death of God.' This shouldn't be misunderstood, as he doesn't mean a literal death of God. Instead he is arguing that due to Westernisation and the changes which Christianity has made in order to fit in with modern society, it has removed itself from the God that society once knew. There is much more to this, but I won't babble rabble on.
I'm now sat in the Libz with Hannah (I hate that girl), just kidding, I love her really (in a non-lesbian way)! We're all set to do more Uni work, if we don't make it in for the lectures tomorrow, it's because our brains have all gone to mush mush and we are no longer function human beings!
Peace out:)
