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 second paper should summarize the position, on a matter of philosophical import, of a
philosopher who lived between about 600 B.C. and 1350 A.D. This need not be a philosopher we have or
will discuss in class. This should be done in approximately 600 words.
The philosopher you choose should be one who does not entirely agree with the position summarized in
your first paper. In other respects your paper should be much the same as your first: you should not try
to summarize everything the philosopher claims–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! If you
can figure out how to navigate this map of refinement and disagreement, it may prove quite helpful to
you. Just be wary of the dates, many philosophers on that list are not included in the appropriate time
range! You may also find the Standford Encyclopedia of Philosophy useful. Your paper should cite few
sources–obviously you should cite the original work of the philosopher you are summarizing, 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 five areas:
Did you identify a specific argument about metaphysics, values, or epistemology from a philosopher of
the appropriate time period? (0-20 points)
Did you clearly and accurately summarize that argument? (0-40 points)
Did you cite the original text(s) in which that argument was made, along with no more than two other
academically appropriate sources? (0-20 points)
Is your paper grammatically correct, proofread, formatted as instructed, and otherwise linguistically
coherent? (0-20 points)
