Write a paper summarizing the core features of <\/span><\/span>one <\/span><\/span>of the positions\/theories of <\/span><\/span>one <\/span><\/span>of the philosophers on the syllabus and provide <\/span><\/span>one <\/span><\/span>possible objection to the theory (you may either defend the philosopher from an objection or agree with the objection). Approximately 850 words should be devoted to exegesis and 300 words to the objection, for <\/span><\/span>a total of approximately 1200- 1400 words<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Side note: <\/span>Sources<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

adequate use of sources and citations involves:<\/span><\/p>\n

Including a citation for every single idea, argument, or phrase that you take from any source other than your own head.<\/span><\/p>\n

Citing specific page numbers, of specific sources, by specific authors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clearly marking direct quotations in quotation marks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Paraphrasing (using your own words) to describe the ideas or arguments of others when not quoting directly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your primary sources for class assignments should be the relevant <\/span><\/span>course materials<\/span>; avoid citing lecture slides except where they contain ideas <\/span><\/span>not <\/span><\/span>contained in the text; avoid external sources except when absolutely necessary.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Side Note: The Essay<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Introduction (thesis statement; plan for essay)<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Body (divided into paragraphs; each paragraph addressing one main idea or argument; paragraphs ordered logically)<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/p>\n

Side Note: E<\/span>xegesis<\/span><\/p>\n

What is exegesis?<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

To give an exegesis of a philosophical view is to give an explanation of the main claims and arguments which make up that view.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some synonyms include <\/span><\/span>summary<\/span>, <\/span><\/span>reconstruction, exposition, <\/span><\/span>or just<\/span> <\/span>explanation<\/span>.<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Note that an exegesis is <\/span><\/span>not <\/span><\/span>just a list of the components of a view; it involves explaining how those components fit together<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

Finally: the topic that I want to talk about <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

philosopher<\/span>: Aristotle:<\/font> Nichomachean Ethics \/ <\/span>Ethical Theory: Aristotelian Ethics<\/span><\/p>\n
