chapter 13
Papers should be argumentative. Carefully study the chapter and summarize it in your own words.  Your essays should be clear and concise.  If you are unsure how to start writing, you can begin with a brief description of the chapter and explain Rachels answer to this question.  The body of your paper should then develop an argument that supports your view. You are welcome to agree or disagree with the authors positionjust be sure to either support or criticize that position with reasons and an argument. Sum up the ideas presented in the paper in a clear conclusion.

College-level writing requires skill and should represent a high level of critical thinking.  Do not write a one-sitting, informal, stream-consciousness type paper (it shouldnt read like a casual email to a friend).  Make sure your ideas are clear and well-supported.  Ask yourself if you are making any unwarranted assumptions.

You are welcome to use sources outside

In a four page essay, compare the styles of presentation of Plato and the Bhagavad Gita. What are the similarities? What are the differences? What do you think is beneficial about each of these presentations of philosophical teachings, compared with "traditional" modes of philosophical writing? Which style do you think is most helpful for learning philosophical concepts and why?

Please look over and follow the instructions mentioned in the term paper handout uploaded. The handout has all the information in regards to the requirements.

So perhaps the feeling that you could have chosen a peach instead of a piece of cake is a philosophical illusion, and couldn't be right whatever was the case. To avoid this conclusion, you would have to explain (a) what you mean if you say you could have done something other than what you did, and (b) what you and the world would have to be like for this to be true.



For your original thread, explain how you understand the difference between free will and determinism. Next, discuss whether you believe humans have free will. If you think we do, how do you understand us and the world around us such that free choice exists? If you think we do not, are you convinced that free choice is simply an illusion? How does your worldview support that belief?

At the end of this chapter, Nagel says:

The problem is to explain how this is possible: How does anything we say or write mean anything -- including all the words in this book?

For your original thread, do your best to answer his question. What does "meaning" amount to? How is language "connected to" reality? How do words represent the things they refer to? If you are not sure at this point, think back to what you must have assumed about meaning before you read this chapter. How do you think you would have defined "meaning" if you had been asked to do so then?

For this weekly check-in, read the third chapter, "Other Minds," on pp. 19-26 in your book What Does It All Mean? by Thomas Nagel.

At the end of this chapter, Nagel asks:

What can you really know about the conscious life in this world beyond the fact that you yourself have a conscious mind? Is it possible that there might be much less conscious life than you assume (none except yours), or much more (even in things you assume to be unconscious)?

For your original thread, discuss your answers to these questions in at least a paragraph. Can you know that there is conscious life other than your own? Could there be much less or much more conscious life than you assume?

Stoicism and Aristotle on Emotions:  Aristotle thinks that emotion is essential to being virtuous. The courageous person, for example, experiences fear in the right way towards the right things.  Only the reckless person has no fear.  Does the stoic agree with this?  Epictetus says that our emotions are up to us, but that we should not be upset by things that are not up to us.  Does this mean that the good stoic has no fear?&nb
