1st Midterm Review Questions 1 and 2.

1. How did people attempt to answer
questions about the physical world,
morality, and the meaning of life, etc.
before philosophy?

Before philosophy, people generally
used religion(mythos) and social/cultural
tradition to understand the world or
decide moral questions.

2. What's the difference between mythos
and logos?

The fundamental difference between
mythos and logos is methodology.
Mythos uses stories about the gods or
custom and cultural practice to answer
life's big questions. Logos uses
philosophy or logic and critical analysis of
concepts and ideas to form their beliefs.
