Directions:
1. Please type your answers to these questions. (Handwritten answers will be accepted, but at a 15-point penalty.)
2. Put your name on at the top of the page.
3. Number your answers. Each answer should be at least four sentences long.

I. The Apology of Socrates: Philosophy Defended

11. Philosophy is abnormal

a. How does humility get Socrates into trouble?

b. How can someone be, as Kreeft puts it, “fanatically humble, immoderately moderate, and immodestly modest”?

c. Should philosophers be “dissatisfied with the normal” and “seek a higher wisdom”? Is Christianity “normal” -- as Kreeft understands the word?
