Throughout your studies in our course you have been introduced to a variety of philosophers along with a variety of thoughts. Based upon the information you have obtained through your studies in our course, write a paper (not a biography) that will focus on one post-Aristotle philosopher’s central idea(s) from the list below.

In your essay provide the clear identification of your chosen philosopher and idea(s). This is an expository paper, not an argumentative one.
Fully explain one school of philosophical and moral thought based on one philosopher from the Hellenistic or Roman eras, the history behind their development and the rationale for their acceptance and practice.
The paper is not less than 1100 words, nor more than 1350. This does not include title page or the works cited page.
A minimum of three reliable resources. No Wiki, About.com, and so forth.
