Purposeful Point-of-View? - Chapter 8

In Chapter 8, Aristotle presents his philosophical idea of Telos; justify the actions or desires based on inherent purpose.

Are ideas and beliefs completely absolute, or are they constantly being altering?

Referring back to Chapter 2; is the purpose of obtaining a college education, a scholarly desire, or is the means of a cost-benefit one?

Furthering this: Are we merely scholars who partake in research and expand the universe's knowledge for the sake of learning, or are we merely students here funded by corporate tuition reimbursements, to primarily further one's earning potential?

Are we to do more than to just simply eat, sleep, and work? Do we ignore the blessings of evolving cognition and language?

What if the purpose is to be find out our purpose here in life? What if life as we know it, is a journey, an embarkment of discovering one's purpose? What if we can't justify our purpose, in our lifetime?

What is one's purpose here, at Bunker Hill Community College?

Yet again,
Pre-Gamers
