Sometimes, Preparations for Teaching Take A Whole Day

Yesterday went from a nice, sunny morning, to a dreary, rainy evening. I had to prepare my thoughts for teaching today — there are so many ways one could go about discussing the different schools of Hindu philosophy, but I think I might have a way to go about it now. One hour, obviously, is not enough time. I will also have to make sure I give some of the basic examples employed by Hindu philosophy, especially the question involved in the misperception of a rope for a snake. From that one question, one can see the different ways the different schools of thought deal with epistemology and ontology. I am glad I don’t have to teach for the next two sessions; the hour limitation really is hard to deal with, and I think, more wearying because of how fast I have to go through the material.
