10 Philosophical Questions that Make You Think

Pat shares 10 Philosophical Questions that make you think. Answer in the comments!

The 10 Questions (by Mortimer Adler):

1. Is freedom good? Is it good in itself or only as a condition for

getting other good things? Is it the greatest good?

2. Does God exist? Did God create the world?

3. How does man differ from other animals? Does man have an

immortal destiny?

4. What is truth, and how do we know it when we see it? Is

anything either right or wrong for all people at all times; and, if

there is such a thing, how does one discover it?

5. Are pleasure and pain standards for judging whether a line of

conduct should be pursued or avoided? Are there any other

standards? Are they better than the standards of pleasure and

Pain?

6. Is that government best which governs least? Is all good

government self-government?

7. Is war always wrong; and, if it isn’t, under what conditions is it right? 

8. Are all men created equal? Is every man created with a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Can he lose that right? 

9. Should all men work together on the same basis, or should they work, some as masters and some as servants? Would you rather be a well-fed slave or a starving freeman? Should there be any limit to the acquisition, possession or transmission of private property, and, if there should be, what limits should he set, and by whom? 

10. In what does human happiness consist, and how does it differ, if at all, from the happiness of other kinds of creatures?
