I want you to develop your own topic and thesis based on any of the
authors we have read the this term. Choose something from Dewey, Parfit, the apology, crito, allegory of the cave, descartes, Nagel etc.
You paper should be an argument, so your thesis should be something like “In this paper, I will argue that _________”.
If you’re stumped for a topic, think about the papers we have written
already. They have asked you to apply a given thinker(s) work to a
problem (consciousness, civil disobedience). You can frame your paper
similarly by asking “What would Marx (or whomever) think about X?” where
X is a philosophical problem or social issue.
External research is not necessarily required, but may be necessary
depending on your paper. Such research must be properly cited, of
course.
