Philosophy Question

The purpose of this final work is to demonstrate your knowledge of the material, to exercise your ability to introduce a subject concerning social ethics intelligently and to write an academic essay concerning one topic of your interest, and, in some measure, exhibit creativity and original thinking.

Final Essay Project (40%). This reflective well written and structured paper must be of about 3000-word (about 5 to 6 pages,), double spaced, with one-inch margins, using Times Roman 12pt font. This final assignment should be submitted on Canvas by Friday, May 13 at 11:59PM.

The assignment at core is as follows: You are asked to put two(or more) human artistic and philosophic expressions OF YOUR CHOICE, in adialogue with each other — as they confront a major issue or question partaking to“existence in general” and to “the human condition” in particular. They can be opposing or complementing each other.

Again, you may choose any two entities of your choice: be it a poem, a painting, a movie, an object of art, an essay, a piece of music in short, literally anything that you think will contribute to the quality of your paper but is important to provide the rationale and the meaning for it.

When I say “dialogue” or conversation I mean it metaphorically. It can be any way that puts the two sources in touch with each other. It can be in a form of confrontation, comparison against each other or complimenting each other.

In the process of reflecting on your essay you might start from the topic of your interest and then find in your resources the two entities best serve to elucidate your point. Or you might start with the two entities close to your heart and mind and find if and in what way their meeting reveals something new and insightful.

IMPORTANT: You can use MLA, APA, or CMS Style or any other academic style as long as you are consistent and clear.
