Writing Assignment 2: Argument Summary
Due: March 29 End of Day
Assignment: Re-present the argument of one of the philosophers we’ve read since Plato. Your goal is to be as precise as possible in articulating the points made by the philosopher. Beginning with a clear statement of what you take the philosopher to be doing, proceed to enumerate the argumentative moves they make and why.
Choose one of the following texts to summarize:
Lugones, “Playfulness, ‘World’-Travelling, and Loving Perception”
Mills, “But What Are You Really?”
Descartes, First and Second Meditations
Nagarjuna, The Fundamental Wisdom of the Middle Way Ch 24
Requirements:
800–1200 words
Open with a clear sentence stating what the philosopher is doing in the piece you’ve chosen. (“In [title of text], [philosopher’s name] is [what they are doing]”)
In an introductory paragraph, summarize the main arguments of the text
In succeeding paragraphs proceed to add detail to your introductory summary by articulating the specific arguments or moves made
Proceed in a clear and coherent order, making connections between ideas
Present the ideas of the text accurately in your own words (minimal or no quoting)
I would like to get the essay that is attached to be rewritten completely, with the same text to be summarized,
