Final Paper Instructions

Paper Prompt:

Metaphysics:

  • Do you have free will? Are you, at least sometimes, in control of your behavior?

Second, provide what you consider to be the best answer to the question, supported by a logical philosophical argument. You must draw on at least one reading or video from class to support your argument. Third, consider one to two of the most compelling objections to your view, and respond to them.

Length/formatting:

  • Final paper: roughly 1,400 words

  • Double spaced

  • Must include in-text citations and bibliography (any formatting)

  • Include a word count at the top of the paper

Writing tips:

  • Make sure to cite throughout your paper—even when paraphrasing. Remember, when in doubt, just cite it!

  • Planning is very important. If you know what you want to say before you start writing, your essay will turn out much better.

  • Make your essay well-structured

    • Use connectives like ‘because’, ‘therefore, ‘it follows from this,’ ‘however,’ and ‘if _____, then ______.’

    • Use signpost to tell the reader what you’ve already said, where you’re going next, etc.

    • At the beginning of each paragraph, you should use a ‘topic sentence’ that essentially summarizes what you will be talking about in that paragraph.

    • Include a brief introductory paragraph and conclusion.

  • Make it obvious when you’re presenting your own view and when you’re presenting

  • somebody else’s theory.

  • You will be graded on organization, understanding of the theory, and the quality and logical flow of your argument.

  • See Pryor’s “Guidelines on Writing a Philosophy Paper” for more details.
