WESTERN PHILOSOPHY-- The six points of Western Philosophy, the philisophical foundations that the wars of culture are fought over:
1) Things are independent of us.
2) Things are knowable.
3) Truth = knowing the knowable.
4) The will is free.
5) Ethical truths can be know for certain.
6) Dualism.

This is the formulation we are using in class but I propose to clean it up a little bit.
