Essay Instructions: Prompt: Include a thesis
In his Present Age, Kierkegaard draws a distinction between an age of passion and an
age of reason. Briefly, yet carefully, explain what distinguishes the two ages. Don't
forget to support your arguments with textual evidence. Then, drawing on examples
taken from contemporary culture, argue whether today (in the 'present age) we live in
an age of passion, or in an age of reason. Or do we live in neither? Or in both?
[To begin, you could ask, for instance: what role does "the press" play today? And
what about new forms of media such as the Internet? Or other forms of
communication, technology, entertainment, etc.]

Essay Instructions: Postman's call for a "bridge" to the 18th Century contains several suggestions. One is that contemporary society would be well served by a return to the philosophical goals of the Enlightenment. A second theme is that we are being adversely affected by the machines and devices we are currently using. For your final paper, address these issues as well as the nature of knowledge- how do we know? Is it science or faith that best serves us and what are the consequences when our scientific advances begin to change us? How does "Fahrenheit 451" address these questions?
Also use Thomas Paines "Age of Reason"
