Second Paper Prompts PHI 105

Your paper should be about 4 pages long, double spaced, with normal fonts and so forth.

Write a paper in which you respond to one of the following prompts:

• Aristotle offers an account of how we become good people through habitu- ation. Carefully explain his idea that to acquire virtue we must habituate ourselves. Then criticize his theory by describing two or more ways in which habituation is either unnecessary or insufficient to produce virtue.

• Kant claims that all right actions must have a maxim that can be made universal. Carefully explain how this universal law criterion is used to determine whether an act is right. Then criticize this idea as best you can, i.e., try to show that Kant is either wrong or that he needs to add to his theory in order to make it successful.

You are encouraged to consult only the course texts (or translations) and course handouts in preparing your paper. Additionally, use of an outside source without citation is plagiarism and will result in a failing grade for your paper. If you have any concerns about standards of citation, please see me.
