<p>Okay, so my AP Literature teacher wants me to do an individual study project. He asked me about my interests, but I explained how there is an array of topics I would love to do. So he wants a list ASAP, and then we will develop the type of project from there. </p>
<p>Can anyone give me any interesting topics I could base my project on?
The topic could be about ANY subject (math, physics, philosophy, government), which is why any suggestions will be immensely appreciated!!</p>
<p>THANKS!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>philosophy…definitely or you could do math</p>
<p>That is absolutely at the top of my list! But is there anything more specific about philosophy that you suggest? Like Plato, Aristotle, Paulo Coelho (considered a philosopher), ect… something they have done in specific…</p>
<p>You can start by listing what makes up the “array of topics” you had in mind then go from there. I think you should study an author you’ve never heard of, someone far away from you in both time and space!</p>
<p>That is very interesting. Thanks!</p>
<p>Specifically I would obviously study Aristotle, I think in general he had more influence on the development of philosophical views. His reasoning set the standard for many more successive generations of philosophers, so yeah.</p>
<p>^But that’s <em>so</em> Western. Why not study the Shijing from ancient China? Or the mystic poet Rumi, from 12th century Persia? You could read Dostoevsky, or maybe Aim</p>
<p>We have been discussing it, but he wants me to be sure of the topic. So until I have my eyes set on an idea, my project will begin!
@Fran–Thanks for the post… very interesting!</p>
