Philosophy (Illich Articles)
1) Illich says he “does not care about health,” and clearly his purpose is to persuade us not to care about it either. What does he mean by this? Should we smoke three packs a day, live on doritoes and mountain dew? (100-150 words.)
2) Although he (Illich) now worries that it will be misunderstood, Illich seems to suggest that the capacity to “cope with life” is what we really want to develop. How is “coping with life” different from “caring about health”? (100-150 words.)
