Using at least one other reading from the course, expand upon your first essay. Consider the following questions:
How does the selected essay(s) add to the issues you considered in the first essay? (For example: How does Rorty relate James’s view of religious belief to other important ideas from pragmatism, such as its “anti-representationalism? How does Peirce’s “How to Make Our Ideas Clear” relate to Dewey’s argument for the need for a “recovery of philosophy”? (For this question, you might consider how Peirce and Dewey discuss Reality.).
As an alternative to relating your first essay to another reading from the class, you can find and analyze a criticism of the argument you considered in the first essay (using library resources, for example). In this case, you would need to summarize this criticism, relate it to your first paper, and evaluate whether you think the criticism is convincing.
In addressing these questions, you should also revise elements of your first paper for which you lost points on the rubric and about which the instructor made comments or suggestions. Relatedly, you will likely need to alter your introduction and conclusion in order to address the new material you discuss for this second paper.
Essay 2 is called “An In depth Analysis of ‘How To Make Our Ideas Clear’ by Charlse Peirce” attached
