Today we started by reading "The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus. We had a minor discussion on Nihilism, Existentialism, Utilitarianism, and Determinism, then dove into a Socratic seminar on the purpose of life, how we generate morals, whether our actions are predetermined or a matter of choice.
Finally, we discussed Chapters 8-11, briefly.
Your essays are due on Thursday. Here are the rubrics for the two essays (you choose one of the two essays). Iceberg Creative. Iceberg Analytical.
