Understanding Evil | Get Solution Now
Make and defend a complex, arguable thesis that integrates some clearly identified concern common to Alain Badious Ethics: An Essay on the Understanding of Evil and one of the following four texts: (3) Arendt, Civil Disobedience You may think about Badious text in terms of chapter units. You do not have to cover all of Ethics, but you do have to work with at least two complete chapters. How you choose to frame your argument is up to you. You may want to consider the various ways in which the take home final framed your examination of multiple texts. However you frame your project, be sure that your argument is clearly developed in the opening section of the paperbefore you begin the work of analyzing either of the texts in the particular. Your thesis must be complex, arguable, and clearly stated (rather than merely suggested). A portion of your grade will depend solely on the strength of your guiding thesis. Once youve made your argument, you must find a way to persuasively analyze both texts in defense of that claim. Every passage you look at must clearly elucidate some aspect of your initial claim. Be sure that your thesis and your body paragraphs are clearly making the same argument. Because you are dealing with two texts here, it is crucial that your topic sentences clearly highlight the argument of the coming paragraph, its relation to the paragraph that came before, and/or its place in the papers broader thesis. You must be judicious about which passages to include and where to place them. Nothing you argue will be convincing unless you find a way to show the reader how youve arrived at your claim. And since no outside material (informational, historical, theoretical or analogous) will be considered, all you have to work with here is the texts themselves. The essay will be a balancing act between your assertions of broad, interconnected claims, and your ability to prove those claims on the local level. You will be expected to have a clear understanding of both texts overall arguments, and you will need to be sure that your specific claims are commensurable with each authors larger project. Any paper that does not demonstrate a commanding knowledge of both the texts AND does not sufficiently work with the texts themselves AND does not put that work to service in defense of a clear (though complex) thesis, will not receive a passing grade. The essay must be 4-6 pages in length (Times New Roman 12, MLA format).
