This is the first essay assignment of two for the class. It is due by Wednesday, June 24, at 11:59 pm. Your paper should be uploaded to the Springboard dropbox.
The paper should be 3-4 pages in length at double spacing, not including title pages, bibliography, headers/footers, and footnotes/endnotes.
David Hume famously said that “Reason is and ought only to be the slave of the passions.” Explain what he meant by this, then discuss whether you agree or disagree with it. Explain your reasons for thinking as you do.
I do want you to draw from the class materials in your answer, and the strongest papers will demonstrate use and understanding of those materials, but I really do NOT want a mere condensation or summary. This isn’t a research paper. It also isn’t really a test of detailed understanding of the materials. I want you to really think hard about the question. In violation of many guides for writing philosophy papers, it isn’t necessary for you to articulate and defend a central thesis. But I DO want you to organize your thoughts, questions, concerns, and speculations and express them clearly in writing. Pay attention to spelling and grammar – not from fear that points will be deducted, but because ungrammatical and error-saturated writing is miserable to read.
There are many ways to draw from the course materials. Some papers may focus quite narrowly on Hume, while others may incorporate material from other authors.
You absolutely may (but you don’t have to) draw from materials not specifically assigned for the course. However, papers that ignore course materials will not receive the highest grades.
If you quote or paraphrase, please include a citation. A short bibliography identifying any resources used should be included. The format for citations (MLA, Turabian, Chicago, …) doesn’t matter to me. In fact, for present purposes, here is what I recommend: If you are citing a book, just give the author, book title, and page #. If it is an article, then give author, article title, publication title, page #. And if you are using an online source, just copy and paste the url.
