I’ll be available until that date to answer any questions you might have through BlackBoard messages. Rubric: This essay weights 40% of your total final grade. The rubric is divided to add to 100% meaning that If you cover 100% of this rubric you earn 40/100 final points: 1- 25%- Answering what the philosopher actually thought, or, at least, not making the philosopher contradict himself. 2- 25%- Your own interpretation of the problem and the thoughts of the philosopher. 3- 20%- How clearly you convey your message. 4- 15% – Proper citation in APA format. 5- 10% – Reference page.* (Even if it only counts for 10% it’s mandatory to include reference page. In other words it’s a necessary but not sufficient condition for proper submission.) 6- 5% – Grammar. Guide Questions: 1- Describe the problem of interaction in Descartes’s Mind-Body dualism. You might want to add what we saw in class about the Benjamin Libet’s brain activity / free will experiments. 2- Verifying causality, the existence of the Self and the logical justification of Induction are all problems for Hume, describe his arguments for at least one of these. 3- Kant ‘answers’ to Hume that even if we are tied to the perspective of our empirical habits we can still know universal truths like: ‘Everything must have a cause’, ‘All experiences imply a self’ and/or ‘Induction can lead to verifiable laws of nature’. How does he use the notion of ‘synthetic a-priori’ to argue these statements? (You only have to choose one statement but can answer two or three if you wish to). 4- Hegel believes that reality = rationality. What does this mean for human history and for our possibility of knowing things in themselves?
