Remember, papers should be (at least) 6 pages long, double spaced. As you can imagine, you can (and probably should) write more. You can cite other sources, of course. One great place to go for any of these is the Stanford Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy. That said, all I really require is that you write a very good, carefully reasoned argument.
1. What is Plato’s argument for the Forms, and specifically, the Form of the Good? What is Plato’s argument morality is a natural good? Relate this argument to the Myth of Gyges, to the Myth of the Charioteer, and to the image of the man, the lion, and the monster. Remember all of these images (and parables) are in Chapter 6.
2. Explain Aristotle’s teleological doctrine of virtue, bringing in the concepts of habit, character, the Golden Mean, practical wisdom, and the relation of virtue to intellectual development.
3. In terms of what Augustine calls “love,” discuss what is wrong with human beings and what a good life would consist of.
4. Compare the kind of argument that Anselm puts forward with the kind that Aquinas favors. What are the significant differences? Why are there those differences? Assess these arguments. Are any of them sound?
5. Compare the views of Hobbes and Locke on life in a “state of nature,” together with the prescription each provides on how to get beyond its inconveniences. Which of these views is more plausible? Why?
6. In area after area, Hume is tries to convince us of the limitations of reason. Although we might not like it, reason is the “slave of the passions.” Discuss how he goes about showing these limits with regard to four areas: causality, the self, morality, and God
7. Kant says he was shaken by David Hume’s analysis of causation. He calls it “Hume’s problem.” What was there about this analysis that awoke Kant from his “dogmatic slumber,” and how does Kant think he has solved the problem? Remember to include parts of Kant’s system (e.g. intuitions of space and time, categories, etc.). Does his solution work?
8. Compare and contrast Bentham and Mill’s different versions of Utilitarianism.
9. Compare the similarities and differences in Wittgenstein’s treatment of language (and its relations to the world) in the Tractatus and in the Investigations.
