Write a philosophical paper of any topic or issue of your interest. You may cite any philosopher and discuss any philosophical problem
Guidelines:
1. Philosophical papers are inherently argumentative. The philosophical problem should be explicitly stated before making your arguments.
2. Briefly discuss the related literature on the topic. Most of the time, we think that our present stand on the issue is original and our own when it has already been discussed by existing literature. Make sure to do your research.
3. Subheadings are optional. They help give a clearer structure of your paper. FYI, subheadings are not limited to “Introduction,” “RRL,” and “Conclusion.”
4. Write a title for your paper.
