Philosophy 401 - Writing in Philosophy

This is a Junior Year Writing course for students majoring in Philosophy. We will analyze several published papers in different areas of philosophy, paying special attention to their structure and construction. Students will then write their own original works of philosophy, responding to one of the papers studied in the class. Students will develop skills in reading and writing academic works, revising, and providing and responding to feedback, as well as developing a longer sustained argument. Students who plan to apply to graduate school may use this class to develop a writing sample.
