essay is a bit confusing because you appear to be arguing two different things. You begin by arguing Descartes' mind-body dualism, but then you start to argue his method of doubting, then you go back to the mind-body dualism. To make things easier to understand, I would just argue one. The main idea of your paper seems to be focused on the mind-body dualism. If this is the case, then I would remove the sections about his method of doubting, for it does not seem relevant to the mind-body dualism argument. 2. Make sure you are very clear on the stance you are taking regarding Descartes' mind-body dualism. In several passages you speak of "supporting" Descartes' argument, but then you bring in sources that seem to argue against it. All the philosophers you bring in seem to criticize Descartes' mind-body dualism. So, if your goal is to criticize Descartes, just make that very clear in the introduction. 3. Regarding the philosophers you are using. I wanted you to use only two other philosophers in your paper. You mention two in your introduction, but it appears you are using at least four for the dualism argument (on even more for the doubting argument). If you are having trouble meeting the minimum five-page limit, I will let you use three other philosophers but no more. This means you have to go into much more detail of what each of those philosophers are trying to say. As of now, you briefly mention their position.you need to go into much more detail on how they criticize Descartes and how they prove he is incorrect in his dualism position.
In no more than a page of text, do the following: Identify one contemporary issue of concern in engineering ethics. It should be an issue about which there is some disagreement or debate. Make very clear what the issue is, as well as why it is an ethical issue and how it touches on the concerns of engineering ethics. Briefly indicate your own position or view with respect to this issue, as well as your reasoning, i.e., try to convince me to agree with you. Finally, provide at least one site or source where this issue has been discussed recently, ideally within the last decade.
Make points and a few details about the attached file and the attached Academic journal article. Notice how they're defining SWB and whether it's the same as in the course readings. This is basically a very specific study that you can then relate to the more general themes from the things we read for class. Please try to focus on Clarity (Does your presentation enable the class to understand what the source was saying?) ??Accuracy of interpretation ??Connections made between the source and the course content

Augustine characterizes his philosophical project as one of "faith seeking understanding." What does he mean by this? To put it another way: How does Augustine view the relationship between faith and reason? Are they mutually supporting? Does one take priority over the other? How might Augustine's 4th century philosophical ideas relate to what contemporary psychology teaches us about the way that our emotions, likes/dislikes, and prior beliefs effect the way we form new beliefs and process information (see the posted video on confirmation bias)? Support your answers using philosophical argumentation. Please present arguments, evidence, and/or examples that support the answers you give. Include direct quotations with accompanying page numbers when citing the text. Book is The Great Conversation a historical introduction to philosophy ninth edition. Chapter 13.

It will contain few (if any) errors of comprehension, unsupported assertions, or hackneyed examples. post that contains more than ten spelling or grammatical errors will automatically receive a failing grade.

Module 1 Thought Paper Instructions: For the purpose of your Thought Paper, present a well-formulated definition of what the Humanities are. This definition should not be exhaustive nor recite the standard dictionary treatment of the term (in fact, avoid such definitions for this assignment). I am more interested in seeing what your first thoughts are on the subject at hand are after reading the first chapter of the text and what the term means to you after considering the subject as a rigorous practice in the Humanities for the first time. You should only attempt this assignment after doing the first weeks reading. Note: A good approach to your Thought Paper might be to consider what your initial ignorant layman's ideas of the subject were in comparison to what you learned in Chapter 1; however, the structure of your theme is up to you. I do suggest paying special attention to the different types of practices that of interest to Humanists when studying Humanities: Art, Literature, Music, History and Philosophy are good places to start. That is, what is it that we are doing in a Humanities class, how is it different from the Social Sciences of say Psychology, Sociology, or Anthropology? Why are they not the same?

Overview In this written assignment, you will create an ethics case study based on provided topics, resources, and ethical questions. Your tasks here are to present the case study and the information necessary to consider it. You will choose one of the ethical questions provided with the case study and discuss the central moral controversy the question addresses. You will also briefly apply utilitarianism to the case study. This written assignment should be an essay and include the following sections and headings. Part 1: Introduction, Case Study In this section, you will create the case study. To complete this section, Choose a case study from the selection provided by your instructor in the Week 2 announcement titled “Week 2 Case Studies.” Present a brief introduction to the case study. Discuss background information provided in one of the resources. This section should be around 300 words. Part 2: Ethical Question In this section, discuss one of the ethical questions provided with the case study. To complete this section, State the ethical question you have chosen to discuss and place it at the beginning of the section in bold font. Discuss the ethical question by considering two or more of the following: What is the central moral controversy at the heart of the ethical question? What ethical or societal values are at stake in the question? Who is impacted by the issue or moral controversy? What might it say about us as individuals or society depending on how we answer the ethical question? This section should be around 150 words. Part 3: Position Statement In this section, you will formulate a position statement that answers the ethical question, and then support the position statement. To complete this section, Formulate a position statement that directly answers the ethical question. For example, if the ethical question is “Is it moral for public schools to use corporal punishment to discipline students?” Your position statement would be either “It is moral for schools to use corporal punishment.” or “It is not moral for schools to use corporal punishment.” Discuss reasons that support your position statement. The reasons should be moral or value-based as opposed to statistical or other information-based reasons. For example, the use of corporal punishment in public schools is rare, but this is fact and not a moral reason; so it would not provide much support for the position statement. This section should be around 150 words. Part 4: Opposition Statement In this section, you will provide a statement that directly opposes the position statement and discuss reasons that support it. To complete this section, Formulate a statement that opposes your position statement. For example, if your position statement was “It is not moral for schools to use corporal punishment,” then your opposing position statement would be “It is moral for public schools to use corporal punishment.” Discuss reasons that support your opposition statement. As in the preceding section, these reasons should also be moral or value-based as opposed to statistical or other information-based reasons. This section should be around 150 words. Part 5: Application of Utilitarianism In this section, Explain the principle of “the greatest good for the greatest number.” Consider how this principle would support your position or opposing position statement.
