Seminar about History of Western Philosophy

The seminar on Tuesday 5th October was a good learning experience for me as I have never been in a small group seminar before. It was useful as the group were able to discuss the reading material and share our opinions about whether we agreed with Russell's perspective of the philosophers or not. We focused on chapter 1 of the book which explains the beginning of the Renaissance and we discussed whether we agreed with each other's opnions as to whether the change in the views about religion or the advances of science led to society beginning to become distant from the Church and the Pope. In addition, it was good to get advice from Shira about writing a seminar paper as it is my turn to read out a paper in the next session and I had no idea where to start!!. I hope the people in my group (E) will enjoy listening to my seminar paper even though I am rather nervous about it as this is my first ever seminar paper experience.
