Using the article/chapter attached, compose a 2-page (double-spaced, 12-point font, 1-inch margins) explanation and analysis of the author’s argument. In your paper,answer the following three questions in essay form:
What is he/she arguing?/What is the author trying to convince the reader of?
How exactly does he/she make their case for this claim?/What evidence and reasoning do they employ?
What is the significance of this argument in terms of the history of Ethics that we’ve considered in this class?/How would you situate his/her argument within the history of Ethics?
These will be graded on the basis of careful explanation of the author’s ideas, citation of the source (page #s) each time you refer to it, use of clear expression and organization, and thoughtful engagement with the author’s ideas.
NOTE:
To adjust the text image so it is readable, all you need to do is right click your mouse and click on “rotate.” Also, if you find an interesting article/chapter that is not on this list, and you would like to write your essay on it, then please email me the title for approval (I just want to make sure it is an academic source and connected directly to ethics).
