(Please note that you can enlarge each image by clicking on it.)\u00a0 For each work, there are a series of between three and five questions that assist you in articulating your response to the work. Once you have finished discussing the questions for all the works in a unit, you can go on to consider a series of philosophical questions that are based on issues raised by the works in that unit. These questions concern issues in a variety of different philosophical areas, such as the philosophy of mind and ethics as well as the philosophy of art.\u00a0 We hope that you find this website a great way of entering into philosophical discussions.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/philosophyatthemuseum\/portraits\/\">Start Exploring\u00a0the Site<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/commons.mtholyoke.edu\/philosophyatthemuseum\/for-teachers\/\">Teacher Instructions<\/a><\/h3>\n<h4><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Philosophy @ the Virtual Art Museum, a website designed to foster philosophical discussions using works of art.
