Explain why the practice of philosophy is necessary for living a good life. You can draw from the texts we read in class, the audio lectures and notes, but I also want to see this as personal as well. And it is important for you to enjoy writing this. I am not looking for a "right answer." You are only at the first part of becoming initiated into the practice of philosophy. So give yourself some liberty in your writing, and think slowly through the ways in which philosophy is necessary.
