Using at least four of the philosophers we’ve read this semester, make an argument for or against the view that you should declare a minor, major, or second major in philosophy at UHD.
The 12 philosophers we’ve read are: Plato, Seneca, Epictetus, Montaigne, Emerson, Thoreau, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Beauvoir, Fanon, West, and Lugones.
In addition tot he four thinkers you use in making your argument, please familiarize yourself with the supplementary materials on studying philosophy included on Blackboard (in the Final Reflection folder, under the heading, “Reflecting on Philosophy”), and use any of them that seem useful to you in your reflection, as well.You may submit this assignment either as a written philosophy paper or as a recorded video essay.The goal of a philosophy reflectionis to present your own considered and clearly articulated beliefs alongside your understanding of the material we have read in the course.
To that end, please be sure it is always clear whose views are being expressed—yours or one of the authors whose works have been assigned.
