Philosophy Capstone

Course #: PHIL 475

Description:
The Philosophy Capstone is an advanced philosophy class offered across various topics which includes a longer writing project (of approximately 20 pages). The longer writing project aims to equip students with skills and habits essential to higher-level scholarly work: formulating and clarifying a philosophical question from scratch, composing and revising cogent philosophical prose, interpreting and analyzing complex texts, engaging with opposing arguments, using appropriate practices of style and documentation, giving and receiving constructive feedback. It requires a level of independence beyond what is expected in typical undergraduate assignments, crucial for developing as a philosopher and an independent thinker.
