LaRica, This outline presents some strength in discussing the perspective of Descartes. You do well to explain his approach to skepticism and ways in which he attempts to build arguments that can help understand how we can arrive at the truth. The outline is strengthened by various arguments made by known scholars and suggests a thoughtful approach to the paper. The sources are carefully selected and, importantly, have been cited within the text to support your arguments. The outline can be improved by clarifying the paper’s main theme and ensuring that your arguments are centered upon this theme. You should pay greater attention to your sentence construction and ensure that the meaning is clear to the reader.

Task:

This 4 – 5 full page (not to exceed 6 pages) Philosophical Essay you will be writing due Week 7 is designed to be a thoughtful, reflective work. The 4 – 5 full pages does not include a cover page or a resource page. It will be your premier writing assignment focused on the integration and assessment relating to the course concepts. Your paper should be written based on the outline you submitted during week 4 combined with your additional thoughts and instructor feedback. You will use at least three scholarly/reliable resources with matching in-text citations and a resource page. All essays are double spaced, 12 New Times Roman font, paper title, along with all paragraphs indented five spaces.

Description:

You will pick one of the following topics only to do your paper on:

• According to Socrates, must one heed popular opinion about moral matters? Does Socrates accept the fairness of the laws under which he was tried and convicted? Would Socrates have been wrong to escape (CO3)?
• Consider the following philosophical puzzle: “If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?” (1) How is this philosophical puzzle an epistemological problem? And (2) how would John Locke answer it (CO1)?
• Evaluate the movie, The Matrix, in terms of the philosophical issues raised with (1) skepticism and (2) the mind-body problem. Explain how the movie raises questions similar to those found in Plato’s and Descartes’ philosophy (CO5 & CO6). Do not give a plot summary of the movie – focus on the philosophical issues raised in the movie as they relate to Plato and Descartes.
• Socrates asks Euthyphro, “Are morally good acts willed by God because they are morally good, or are they morally good because they are willed by God?” (1) How does this question relate to the Divine Command Theory of morality? (2) What are the philosophical implications associated with each option here (CO4)?
• Explain (1) the process by which Descartes uses skepticism to refute skepticism, and (2) what first principle does this lead him to? (3) Explain why this project was important for Descartes to accomplish (CO2).

Your paper will be written at a college level with an introduction, body paragraphs, a conclusion, along with in-text citations/resource page in proper formatting. Remember – any resource that is listed on the resource page must have an in-text citation in the paper to match or this is considered plagiarism.

Research Paper Outline

 

I. Introduction: Write your complete introduction.  

• Hook: A hook is a powerful opening sentence to your essay. It grabs the reader’s attention so well that they want to read on.  

Click here for help with writing a hook.  

• Narrow towards your thesis. But don’t give so much detail that you reveal all of the paper in the introduction. Limit your introduction to five (5) sentences maximum.  

• Thesis: This is the most important part of the introduction. It reveals what the paper’s topic is (the “So what?”) and tells the reader why they should read this paper (the “Who cares?”) The thesis sets out a roadmap for your entire essay.

 

II. Body Paragraphs

• Give each paragraph a title – then remove it on the final copy. This will help you to analyze the flow of your paper, and it will help you to see if your body paragraphs truly support your thesis statement.  

• Begin with a strong topic sentence. This sentence tells the reader what the paragraph is about. It must make a point.  

• Provide evidence. Evidence comes in the form of:

➢ quoted material from your researched sources.  

➢ quoted material from the literary text itself

➢ examples from the literary text itself  

➢ statistical/data-driven facts (when applicable)  

Here are some questions you can ask yourself about a particular bit of evidence:

• O.k., I’ve just stated this point, but so what? Why is it interesting? Why should anyone care?

• What does this information imply?

• What are the consequences of thinking this way or looking at a problem this way?

• I’ve just described what something is like or how I see it, but why is it like that?

• I’ve just said that something happens-so how does it happen? How does it come to be the way it is?

• Why is this information important? Why does it matter?

• How is this idea related to my thesis? What connections exist between them? Does it support my thesis? If so, how does it do that?

• Can I give an example to illustrate this point?

NOTE

 

 

You cannot use personal examples, or make personal references in a literary research paper. Do not use any form of first person: “I, me, us, we, my, myself, our, ours” in any part of the paper.

 

 

III. Conclusion:  

i. Restate the thesis in different words.  ii. Recap the main ideas of this essay.  iii. Leave the reading audience with something to consider more deeply.  

iv. Limit this section to five (5) sentences maximum
