Directions: While we will cover many significant and important philosophical figures this semester, we will, by necessity, ignore or skip over many of them. Your assignment is to pick two of these figures and write a 2-3 page report on each. You must pick a philosopher that we did not discuss in class. In your report you should:
Due Dates: The first report must be on a Presocratic or Hellenistic philosopher and is due by Thursday, March 21. The second report must be on a Medieval philosopher and is due by Thursday, May 9. You are always free to turn in these assignments early. Extra Credit: You may do one additional report on any other philosopher from any of the time periods covered in class for 25 points of extra credit. The extra credit is due by the last day of class, Thursday, May 23.
