Philosophy and Ethics: Says Who?

Tonight in our second Truth Project tour we looked at Philosophy and Ethics and looked at a lot of interesting perceptions on tough questions including:

What is Right? What is Wrong? What is Philosophy? Are the "cosmos really all there is, ever was, or ever will be?" What is existence? What is the meaning and purpose of life?



Check out this famous picture of Plato and Aristotle at the school of Athens debating whether the universals in life give meaning to the particulars or if the particulars point us to the universals.



Want to know more about the first postmodern building? Check out the Wexner Center for the Arts at Ohio State University designed by Peter Eisenman with "staircases leading nowhere, pillars that serve no purpose, and an overall senseless building that begs the question, 'Did he do the same with the foundation?'"



With postmodern buildings and no real sense of absolute truth, how many people in America have a Biblical Worldview? Only 4% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview and only 9% of Christians according to a Barna Study done in 2003. Check out more details of the study here.

I look forward to next week as we look at Man and the problem of evil. Let me know what your thoughts are on Philosophy and Ethics in Tour #2.
