Response.

Weekly Assignments will appear differently each week. Sometimes I will want a picture you drew, a poem you wrote, a meme you made regarding the weeks topic. For this week, please feel free to be a little creative, and imagine the following:

You are an alchemist in the 14th century. Using the scholastic method, how would you try to create the Philosophers Stone (red goo that can make base metals like lead into gold, granting immortality, and curing all illnesses)?

Remember, the Scholastic Method consists of:

  • Quaestio (The Question): the topic is narrowed down to a precise question.
  • Disputatio (Disputation): scholars cite authoritative texts, identify contradictions, and debate arguments.
  • Sententia (Conclusion): a synthesis of the arguments to provide a solution, showing why some arguments from the Disputation were rejected and why the Conclusion is correct.
