Please take 30 seconds to complete this brief check-in survey. No worries - I just want to have a quick sense of where everyone is.
As for section 3, here are a few thoughts and reminders:
- The goal for this section is simply to present the work of a philosopher (or more than one) and what that person has to say about yout subject.
- Think of it as a report - summarize their main ideas - quote and explain their points - break it into sections to clarify the different ideas they have.
- You do not need to bring in your personal perspective at all - save that for part 5.
- You do not need to link this section to your book or the dialogue or anything else - save that for part 5.
- I know you are reading complicated stuff - use the tools available to you. Read through that passage from Aristotle or Hume or Aquinas and then check out what different internet sources have to say. If you do happen to find them helpful, just cite them and don't pretend it is your own. No points off or harm in getting assistance for this section.
Are you still looking for your philosopher? Keep trying different keywords in your searches on the Stanford site. Find articles that sound interesting, and then read the parts that seem relevant. In those parts, find the names of some of the philosophers who wrote about your topic. Then, go find that article. If you need help with that, let's meet on Tuesday.
Good luck today!!
