Question:
Samuel Scheffler asks us to imagine that, beginning now, no more humans will be born. Those who already are living will age and die as humans always do. But once all humans who are currently living die out, that will be the end of the human race. Draw on two of our authors - Epicurus, Nozick, Kant, and Wolf - to address the following question: Could you still live a good life? PHILOSOPHY PAPER BASICS • Your paper is presenting your conclusions. Be sure to include a thesis statement early on that tells your reader what you will argue. • I recommend that you discuss one author whose conclusions you think are at least close to right, and one authors whose conclusions you think are wrong in some way. • When you draw on our authors, you should include (a) their conclusions, and (b) their arguments. An argument is how someone tries to convince us that their conclusions are right. In other words, you don't just wanted to tell us what our authors believe. You want to tell us why they think we should believe it, too. • Similarly, when you present your own conclusions, you should include an argument.
