Order Description:
You are to cite AT LEAST 2 SOURCES obtained from outside this course. This paper is NOT meant to be a complex research paper, but more of an analysis on the topic. For Philosophy papers, research is meant to support your own ideas and not form the basis of your work. However, learning what others think on your topic is very helpful, which is part of the reason I am requiring that you do it. Wikipedia is not an ideal source, but you may use it appropriately as a source, mostly for factual descriptions. You are to do an analysis on the readings we have done from Habermas, Burke, Kant, Mill, Locke, Rousseau, and Hume. You can write on one of two topics (choose ONE): Compare and contrast two or more philosophers’ viewpoint on the same concept, such as comparing the role of contracts in Locke and Rousseau. To do this, you must (1) clearly describe what concept you are examining, (2) state what each philosopher says on the concept, (3) explain how their views are similar and how they are different, and (4) discuss which philosopher you think has the better approach to the concept and why.
