Write an 800-1000 word letter to a Philosopher, Leibnez. No use of AI/CHATGTP. NO PLAGARISM.
Only use material and concepts from the attached files. Definitions and concepts should be quoted the exact way you see in the lecture notes i have attached.
1. The first part of the letter should discuss a concept, claim, or argument the philosopher made that led you to think differently about ethical or moral matters, or matters pertaining to metaphysics (the nature of reality) or epistemology (the nature of knowledge) in your own life. This portion of the letter should show deep understanding of the philosopher’s claim, concept, and argument.
1b. You should then go on to discuss how this concept, claim, or argument has led you to think differently about ethical or moral, metaphysical, or epistemological matters in your own life. Here I am expecting your discussion to be rich in biographical detail, discussing how this concept, claim, or argument pertained to your life. This means that you must discuss specifics of your life such as work, family relationships, relationships to other people, events in your life, etc.. Essays that discuss the impact of the concept, claim, or argument at a very general or generic level that could be about anyone will receive a grade of no higher than a C.
2. Next, discuss two claims, concepts, or arguments the philosopher discusses that you found perplexing, confusing, troubling, possibility wrong, etc. You should devote a paragraph to each of these questions.
Thoroughly explain what you think the philosopher is saying and how you think they would respond. Your essay must properly address the philosopher as you would in any letter or email.
3. Your essay must contain 3 quotes from lecture 14c, properly cited (quotation marks, the date these things were written on the board or the written lecture where these things are stated) that are relevant to the topic you’re discussing.
Essays that do not contain three quotes from lecture will receive a grade of no higher than a C. Make sure your quotes are accurate.
Quotes should NOT be examples that I give in class or written lectures, but about concepts and claims that were discussed in the class lecture.
Your essay should not discuss any concepts, material, or use any vocabulary that was not used in class lectures or the assigned readings. In other words, do not do secondary research for this assignment.
Essays that refer to concepts, material, or that use vocabulary that was not discussed in class lectures will receive a grade of no higher than a C. Your name should appear nowhere in the essay. Simply sign your letter with something like “Kind Regards, Mister Wonderer” (come up with your own silly name). Your essay should not use my name anywhere in the document.
No sources or references needed. this is a letetr to a philosopher
