Logic
Paper writing
- The giant
philosophy paper packet
- Grading
criteria, suggestions for writing and basic philosophy papers, and model papers. Not
everything you need to know to write a paper for my class, but it'll
more than get you started.
- Jim
Pryor (Prof. of
philosophy at NYU):
- Where
my packet emphasises the end product, Pryor emphasises the writing
process.
- Philosophy
writing tutor
- This
site goes into even more depth on the process of writing a philosophy
paper. An fictional student's notes and drafts are annotated
to
point out strong and weak points in both the content and writing
process.
