Format: Seven full pages, double-spaced, 12 pt font, one-inch margins. Highlight the separate sections as indicated below, but do not skip lines between sections. Provide a cover page, indicating the title of the paper, your name, class time, semester, and my name. (The cover page is not part of the seven total pages.)
Begin the paper with your Question (technically an Article for Aquinas), centered and on the first line of your first page (do not skip any lines before your Question).
Question
(skip a line)
Objection: Begin your discussion with an opponents position. Limit your interests to material
discussed in class. If you want to discuss theories from outside the scope of our class, you have to clear it with me first. There is no perfect length for this section, but try to give the argument in its best light. Do not set up the position for an easy fall. Respect your opponent.
Objection #2: You may develop a second opposing position, but do not do this merely to fill up pages. Use a second Objection only if it helps clarify the distinctness of your own position. Do not use more than two Objections.
On the Contrary: Find a quotation from an author that supports your own position. You are not to explain the quotation in this section; you should simply present it in quotation form. Limit yourself to texts we have used in class. Use quotation marks, and provide a citation at the end of the quotation, for example: Many people think ants have seen the mystery of the universe for they make the most beautiful silent gestures (Karl Dimwit, Ants and the Mystery of the Universe, p. 35). Keep the quotation short, but substantial.
I Answer: I do not expect you to devise your own philosophical position. Rather, explain what the quoted passage means and then explain why you agree. Use an example when possible to help your explanation (limit yourself to one, well-chosen, example.)
Reply to Objection: At this point, focus on your opponents argument, locating the weak point in the position. Be explicit in your analysis by clearly stating, Here is where this position goes wrong… (or some similar statement). (If you have a second Objection, reply to it separately.)
WARNING 1: Do not merely summarize one of Aquinas own articles/questions. You must develop a debate between two main thinkers from the course: Aquinas, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Heidegger. For example, if you want to develop an argument between Hegel and Heidegger, and you find yourself siding more with Heidegger than Hegel, then you begin the essay with Hegel in the Objection section.
Also, you may not totally agree with any of our philosophers, but you have to side with one more than another. In the I Answer and/or Reply to Objection sections, you can develop your own critique of the philosopher you are (partially) defending.
