Office hours will be announced over the coming week and posted on the website: http://sites.google.com/site/phil257queens/ I very strongly recommend you look at these guidelines for writing an effective philosophy paper. It takes about 15 minutes to read through them. Taking them seriously will dramatically improve your paper: http://www.jimpryor.net/teaching/guidelines/writing.html You don’t need a ‘thesis statement’ for the paper.

I will conclude the paper by considering w...arguing that...”

The question requires that evidence from the text be cited in defense of your arguments. In citing Kant, you should refer to the numbers in the margin of the text e.g. (G 4:428). Do not cite page numbers. Sources other than those assigned for the course should not be used to write your essay. In an essay of no more than 7 pages, answer the following question: 1.

In explaining why one might take it to be a plausible supreme principle, be sure to explain both what is meant by 'supreme principle of morality'.

The paper will focus on one point regarding your interpretation of the sentence’s meaning. State the point in the introduction, give reasons to support it in the body of the paper, and recap it in the conclusion. Evaluation will be based on whether the paper has a point, the organization by which the point is developed (do ideas flow from those that precede and lead into those that follow), and grammatical accuracy/writing proficiency. Be attentive to the sentence by listening to what it says; let it speak in light of the larger context of the passage in which it appears. Be unhurried with your thinking and writing. Take time to experience your thought process. Trace the specific steps that lead to your more general statements. Get into depth. Reveal what the sentence implicitly suggests, not just explicitly states. The paper must display clearly articulated thinking. Say exactly what you mean; express yourself simply and concisely.
