  1. You are encouraged to engage with the ideas and arguments of the philosophers whom we have studied in class.  However, you may in addition engage with philosophers whom we have not studied, if you feel confident and strongly.

  2. Make sure that you explain and use the arguments of the philosophers accurately.  Make specific reference to either primary texts (philosopher’s own writing) or secondary texts (other people’s commentaries on the philosopher’s arguments/ideas. Provide adequate citation for the texts that you use.

  • In writing your essay consider the following questions, as guides.  You don’t have answer all the questions.  However, use them to structure your thinking and writing.

  1. Why should there be rulers or a system of political rule?

  2. What should be the goal (s) or ends of political rule?  What should politics try to accomplish/establish

  3. Who should be the rulers? What should be the ideal qualities of for leaders/rulers?

  4. How should the rulers be selected?

  5. What sort of limitation should there be on political power and on the rulers, if any?

  6. What kinds of freedoms, rights, and privileges should be granted to the citizens or the members of the political community, if any?

What have you learned about the rhetorical writing situation (genre, audience, purpose, persona, context and/or medium)? How did your thinking about any of these concepts impact your composing choices?

What have you learned about the rhetorical writing situation (genre, audience, purpose, persona, context and/or medium)? How did your thinking about any of these concepts impact your composing choices?

The rhetorical situation calls upon the writer to approach composition as a multi-faceted problem. The audience, genre, purpose, persona, context, and medium all present their needs at the same time. The composition process is, therefore, an attempt to address the requirements of each one of these concepts at the same time but in a manner than facilitates cohesion across all of them. Harmonizing these elements into a vivid, accurate, and informative piece of writing is, therefore, a challenge that must be deeply pre-meditated and approach carefully and with very refined objectives. Medium, context, and the purpose, in particular, are important because in my opinion, they house the persona, and even determine the audience. That being the case, I was particularly keen on purpose and medium; looking at purpose, context, and medium at the same time informs a key question: how did the purpose of writing and the context of the composition inform the selection of the medium? I have realized that the thematic concerns of the text determine the construction of the persona and the genre of the composition as well as the audience and how it is viewed by the composer.

How did you make decisions about what to write about, and how to develop your own persona as a writer for this project?

Science is essentially about prediction. Since successful prediction is mostly infeasible in the social realm the study of social phenomena cannot be scientific in the sense of the non-social sciences.Discuss.

1. ‘Science is essentially about prediction. Since successful
prediction is mostly infeasible in the social realm the study
of social phenomena cannot be scientific in the sense of
the non-social sciences.’ Discuss.
2. ‘The superiority of the causalist over the predictionist
account of science is clear once the real significance of
experimental activity in the non-social sciences is
appreciated’. Discuss.
3. ‘A substantial constraint on progress in social science,
particularly acutely felt in economics, is the tendency
among contemporary practising social scientists to deploy
methods without considering whether they are
appropriate to the phenomena studied’. Discuss.
4. Outline Keynes’s account of the volatility of stock market
prices that he sets out in Chapter 12 of the General
Theory of Employment, Interest and Money and consider
whether it conforms to a causalist account of the nature of
science.
