1. What is reality? The really real?
2. What is the nature of external reality, that is, the world around us?
3. What is a human being?
4. What happens to a person at death?
5. Why is it possible to know anything at all?

7. What is the meaning of human history?
Challenge - Choose one of these questions and write your personal response to the question.
