Instruction
you are being asked to clearly reconstruct/explain the
arguments of the text that we read and discussed in class and add your own
reflections/arguments about the issues raised in that text. These papers aim at upholding
your degree of involvement in the course, enhancing your learning and understanding of
the issues raised in the texts, and sharpening your philosophy writing skills. I will be
posting topics every week or so and providing structural guidelines regarding the main
components of your essays. For the first essay topic, besides writing in-class arguments
that are components of the essay, you will also upload a full draft online for comments
before submitting a final version. In total, about fifteen topics will be assigned (final
number may slightly differ depending on the flow class discussions or unforeseen
circumstances). You will be required to submit four essays on topics of your choice, two
for the midterm portion, and two for the final portion of the course.
