Start with making a careful summary of two of the philosophers we read in Unit 2. What were their main concepts and definitions, what were their distinctions? How did they imagine that the self was different from the brain or different from the mind? Restate their theory and include “direct quotes”, specific references from their work.Explain carefully how these views compare and contrast. Be sure to identify and explain at least one difference between the philosophers’ views.

Just need to read the attached document and follow these instructions to reflect to the reading:  Each reading response should be between 2-3 pages in length. The goal of the reading response will be to articulate a thoughtful response to something that came up in the previous week’s readings. I want you to avoid summary. Instead, make up a topic for yourself concerning an issue that you thought was interesting. You must quote the texts to which you are responding at least once to receive full credit. Do not assume, however, that a single quotation will be adequate.

answer the question referencing the uploaded material. QUESTION:  Drawing on your reading in Doyle and/or Jones, I want you to reflect on whether there are lessons to be drawn from the French Revolution—“scientific laws” of history if you will. Was the Revolution inevitable? Must Revolutions always be so violent? Do the unintended consequences of the Revolution negate its achievements?

This assignment is both to get you used to writing/analyzing philosophy papers and for me to assess your writing for the rest of the quarter.

You may respond in any style you prefer (dialogue, essay, etc) but you MUST also include an OUTLINE Actions  of your response which clearly presents the: Thesis/Central Argument Logical Necessity (how your arguments follow from each other) and Synthesis (how your arguments or examples are connected to each other) of your essay. The outline must be included for credit. Plagiarism of this assignment is an automatic fail for the course.   A) What does it mean for something to be “good”? Is it good because it’s useful? Good because it has metaphysical properties? Good because someone thinks so? Something else? B) How do you know when you’ve done something ethically correct? Alternately, how do you know when you’ve done something ethically wrong? C) Do rational beings, such as humans, have a “natural” sense of right and wrong? D) Do your thoughts (or other non empirical/ non physical world things, like your responses to hypothetical situations) have any moral/ethical content?  E) How does identity affect what types of things are considered good? Do different types of identities (cultural, gendered, personal) carry more weight than others?
