“David Hume argues that abstract philosophy (i.e., the kind of philosophy we are studying in PHIL 101) has practical value. What does he mean by this? Do you agree or disagree? Why?”

Respond to each with at least a half page and at most one full page of single-spaced text. These are not formal essays (as essays would need to be longer and more developed). You are to show understanding of the argument or position you write about, and then a reasonable assessment of it, explaining why you agree or disagree with it. Merely agreeing or disagreeing with it will not do (as anyone can do that); you need to give me a good reason to believe that your stance is reasonable.

The two questions that I need answered are:
“Plato thinks his Cave Analogy provides an accurate illustration of the education process. Do you agree or disagree? Why?”

Resource for first question:
Plato, Republic, Book VII
sections 1-12.

“David Hume argues that abstract philosophy (i.e., the kind of philosophy we are studying in PHIL 101) has practical value. What does he mean by this? Do you agree or disagree? Why?”

resource for second question:

please only use these two sources.
