Write an essay (of roughly 3-4 pp. or 900-1200 words) in which you introduce an issue, consider one argument on each side of it, and assess the relative strength of the two sides. At least one of the arguments should be based on (and make reference to) a passage in one of the texts we have read in the last four weeks of the course (i.e., since Kuhn). (This may be true also for the argument on the other side, but that is not required.) This assignment is intended to be analogous to the third paper, so you should check that assignment (which you can find on the website) for further suggestions and comments.

Although I’ll be willing to accept your essay on paper, I’d prefer that you send a copy by e-mail (either as an attachment or in the body of a message). My address is helmang@wabash.edu.
