HUM2551 Ancient/Mediev Philosophy

I will provide you with the previous papers, and you need to continue writing. I got lower grades on the earlier papers, so I need someone who can see the feedback from the professor and the comments on my classmate’s papers and do well in writing. In addition, I will email it to the professor for feedback so you can review it and make some changes. 

here are the instructions for the assignment: 

Format: 8.5″x11″ pages, 1″ margins, Times New Roman font, double spaced lines, indented the first line of each paragraph. Substantial errors in spelling or grammar will result in a reduction of grade. Student name and page number may be placed in a header within the margins, but this is not required (since Canvas will tell me who each paper was submitted by). Professor name, course name, date, etc. need not be included.

File should be in .doc or .docx (Microsoft Word) format.  Note that as students of Florida Tech you have access to Microsoft Office, including via a web browser, so this should not present any difficulty. Submit the final version here, via Canvas.

Content: Your third paper should summarize your position, on a matter of philosophical import–the same matter you discussed in your first two papers. This should be done in approximately 600 words.

In some respects your paper should be much the same as your first: you should not try to summarize everything you believe–just one claim should be summarized in depth.  It may be a metaphysical claim, a value claim, or an epistemological claim, but it should be one of those! Your position may be grounded in one or both of the positions you previously explored, or it may deviate from both, but regardless your position should account for both of the positions you previously explored–for example, by synthesizing them, denying them both, or arguing that one is more plausible than the other for whatever reason. Your paper should cite few sources–obviously you should cite the original work of any philosopher you mention, but beyond that you should not use more than one or two other sources.  Your bibliography should not be included in your word count.  I do not have a citation format preference beyond “consistent.”

Your paper will be graded across four areas:

Did you identify a specific argument about metaphysics, values, or epistemology?

Did you clearly explain your argument and tie it to the work of two historically important philosophers? 

Did you cite the original text(s) of those philosophers, along with no more than two other academically appropriate sources?  

Is your paper grammatically correct, proofread, formatted as instructed, and otherwise linguistically coherent?
