Cool I need to finish my Humanities for my core requirements

Reaaaly should have got this done a while ago, but either way. I need to take 2 courses. And i'm narrowing it down to 1 of each, and im gonna pick from History. Philosophy or Theology. Now, anyone have any suggestions on good courses in these fields.

I'm thinking i'm definetly going to do a History course, probably in warfare, and maybe a Philosophy course, but i have no idea what would be interesting to do in Phil. I just know i want to take one to finish off my electives.

So far i have
Soci 3040 Intro Methods and Research
Soci 3410 Sociology of Sport
German 1000


This semester will be a nice way to ease myself back into the swing of things. Probably will be all 4000 level seminars come winter ugh.

Anyway, any suggestions?

Here's some Phil. courses that are offered

Logic
Principles of Human Knowledge
Hist/Ancient Philosophy
Contemporary Issues
Political Philosophy
Plato
Descartes
Post-Idealist Thought
Analytic Philosophy

Then there's some shit in Metaphysics and Epistomology?? i don't even know if that's right, or if it is right, what it is. (some shit's abbreviated )

don't waste your time with philosophy. statistical evidence show that over 80% of the people who attended philosophy classes in 2003 felt that it wasn't giving and that the content couldn't be used in a pragmatic sense.

The only ones that look interesting are Logic, Contemporary Issues or Political Philosophy...everything else is going to be spoon fed philosophy or history.

logic ability is something you either have or not, it's not something that can be taught.

i think thats the class where they slap and shock you when you cant figure out the next number in a series and feed you lots of fish (full of brain nutrients) and read to you from childrens books to cultivate a working brain

Why are ants crawling across your face? And who waits to swat a bug from ones face? And why would the ant stick around for you anyway? None of this makes sense, maybe i should take philosophy and further confuse myself.
