Philosophy Project

As you continue your work on Seneca and Cicero, I want to give you the guidelines for a project that is due Wednesday, October 6.

Part I: Poster

Each of you must pick one school of philosophy...Stoics, Epicureans, or Academics...and create a poster explaining what they were all about. Each of you should pick a different school, so decide among yourselves who will do what. The poster should have a combination of graphics and text according to the rules for posters at state convention. These will be displayed in the hall outside our classroom, and if you go to state, you can enter your poster in the art contest.

Part II: Paper

The paper is a more in-depth survey of your chosen school of philosophy. It should include famous philosophers and works associated with that school. It must also include a section in Latin, with translation, from either Lucretius, Seneca, or Cicero and a discussion of how that passage illustrates your chosen school of thought.

If you have questions, please ask or post here.

    Just thought i'd let you know that I chose epicureanism so I hope thats alright and you have the choice of stoicism or academics.

    Gratias tibi!
