Philosophy essay 1557891 a few seconds ago This will be a short philosophical argument that you construct in support of a position covering one of the topics discussed in the honors portion of the class–recall the theme of this year’s Honors program.
There are two main parts to it. The first part is what is known in logic as the “Standard Logical Form.” Here you offer a brief outline of your argument in premise-conclusion format. That is, you will number each of the central claims (premises) that lead to or support your conclusion (the opinion you think to be the case regarding the particular philosophical issue).
For example: It is morally wrong to unnecessarily harm another sentient being (one that can suffer). Animals, such as pigs, chickens and cows, are capable of suffering both mentally and physically. Large livestock/slaughterhouses (where the world receives the vast majority of its meat products) cause significant unnecessary suffering to these animals. It is unnecessary because humans can survive and be healthy on a vegetarian (for example) diet.
Premise 4 is supported by the large numbers of healthy (non-dead!) vegetarians. In addition, these huge industrial cattle farms cause dangerous pollution in the air and water. Premise 6 is supported by … (and so on. The exact number of needed premises here will vary based on the issue and your focus. You need not reinvent the wheel and present 50 premises.
Usually 10 or fewer suffices for this portion). Therefore, we should not eat animals from such large-scale industries. The second part of the assignment is where you choose one or two (at most) premises to expand upon in essay format.
This should take no more than 3 pages double spaced, 12pt font. If it goes over or under a bit, that is not a big deal. The goal is to narrow in on what you think are the most important claims for your argument. For instance, in the above, P3 might be in most need of further support–is the pain caused to the animals truly unnecessary? No citations are necessary beyond the primary readings we have for the honors section.
The topic of the paper MUST address one of the papers/issues discussed in the Honors section and connected to this year’s theme: Ethics and Inclusivity. Start thinking early in the semester as to what you want to delve.
