A 1-2 page paper on this topic is due at the end of the week. This paper is not a summary paper. Rather, it is your critical paper. Your critical papers should be structured much like your summary papers—with focus on the argument, its strength, and the paper’s overall succinctness—but the argument in the paper will not be that of an author we’re reading. It will be your own argument. Maybe you’d like to write a critique of one of the views expressed in our readings; that can be a paper. Maybe you’d like to defend one of the views expressed in our readings; you can write that paper. The important part is that the argument in your paper is your own. Your aim is to include in the paper all and only those claims necessary and sufficient to your argument. You’re welcome to write a paper answering the question, Is morality relative?
