Question description<\/p>\n
http:\/\/www.douglasficek.com\/teaching\/phil-2222\/warren.pdfvs.http:\/\/spot.colorado.edu\/~heathwoo\/Phil160,Fall02\/thomson.htmReview the debate between these two authors. First, carefully present the authors\u2019 views. What are the authors\u2019 main conclusions? What are the premises that support these conclusions? What are some reasons to believe that the premises are true? Next, object to one author\u2019s argument. Why is the argument invalid (the conclusion does not follow from the premises) or why is one of the premises false? Finally, conclude by explaining the significance of your finding (i.e.,\u00a0what should\u00a0believe or do?)Length ~1200 words, standard format, works cited page (there is no expectation that you use outside sources), and double-spaced. Please do not use silly fonts, strange spacing, irregular margins, etc.Intro:Functions of the introduction: motivate the project (why does this paper matter), thesis (what I will argue), roadmap (what are the steps taken in this paper),Thesis: you may bold or italicize your thesis. It is appropriate to say, \u201cI will argue…\u201d or \u201cThis paper will argue\u2026\u201dThe thesis is a contract between you and the reader.Criteria of a good thesis: 1) specific 2) controversial 3) plausible (defensible)4) value-added (novel contribution).Example of a bad thesis:Schulmannthinksgay marriage is wrong.(Vague, non-controversial, no new contribution).Better thesis:\u00a0I will argue that utilitarianism\u2019s demands of impartiality are implausible given human psychological constraints, particularly with regard to familial commitments and limited imaginative empathy.Body:Clearly convey the position(s) you are considering. What is the central point of the author? How do they support this central point?Transitions and Signposts: tell the readerwhat has been statedandwhat will be argued next. \u201cIt has been shown that X holds position Y for reasons A and B. Next, objections to A and B will be considered.\u201dOriginal contribution: after clearlypresenting the positions, provide an original critique (e.g., showwhy the argument doesn\u2019t follow from the premises orwhy one of the premises is false). Thought experiments maybe useful here.Basic Structure: Intro, position 1, position 2, original contribution (objection), conclusionGeneral Tips: Clarity is King\/Queen, avoid rhetorical questions, use peer review, and explain!Introduce quotes. You must write, for example, Sullivan states, \u201c\u2026.\u201dRather than starting a sentence with the quote\u201cI will argue Goldman\u201d is not grammatically sound. State \u201cI will argue\u00a0for\/against\u00a0Goldman\u2019s view that\u2026\u201dGrading Criteria:Clarity of Exposition (40%)\u2013proper spelling grammar and syntax, well organized, fluid and logical transitionsAccuracy of Presentation (40%) \u2013 careful and accurate recapitulation of the author\u2019s argumentOriginal Contribution (20%) – substantive, well-developed, original<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
