  • “The Limitations of Objectively Evaluating Moral Principles: A Critique of Shaw’s Argument”

    I have chosen essay prompt number 3 (“On pages 21 – 23, Shaw argues that it is possible to objectively assess the merits of competing moral systems/principles by reference to their ability to fulfil the function of moral systems/principles, i.e., the promotion of human flourishing. Write an essay in which you articulate at least one good reason for thinking Shaw’s argument is not well-supported.”), in the “essay1instructions.pdf” document. My working thesis for this prompt is: “In this essay, I will argue that Shaw’s method of objectively evaluating the merits of competing moral principles by examining their purpose and effectiveness in achieving that purpose is overly general and ambitious. ” Edit this thesis if needed.
    I ask the writer to carefully follow all instructions and formats provided, and please refer to the sample essays written in the “3. how to Write an Essay.pdf” document to write an essay in this same tone/style. I have attached specific pages from assigned readings in the text that we are allowed to use, and have also attached a document that includes all viewpoints that can be used to make arguments. I ask for the use of 2-3 quotations to help support the points being made (do not worry about citing specific quotes, I can do that as I have access to all texts.) If any more information is required, do not hesitate to reach out. Please do try your best to write the best piece of work you can produce. Update me with every paragraph you finish for me to have a look through so that I can ensure this is what I want.
    Thank you and good luck!

  • “Existentialism: Exploring the Human Condition and the Search for Meaning”

    Embark on a philosophical exploration of existentialism, delving into its key concepts, origins, and implications for understanding human existence. Investigate the existentialist philosophies of thinkers such as Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Jean-Paul Sartre, analyzing their perspectives on freedom, individuality, and the search for meaning in a seemingly absurd world. Examine existentialist themes in literature, film, and art, considering their existentialist implications. Evaluate the relevance of existentialist thought in contemporary society, addressing existential crises, authenticity, and the pursuit of personal fulfillment. Utilize philosophical texts, critical analysis, and reflective inquiry to engage deeply with existentialist philosophy and its enduring questions.
