Final Argumentative Paper
Three important sub-disciplines of philosophy are addressed
in this course: ethics, epistemology, and religion. For this
paper, you will develop an argument that includes your own
view on one specific topic relating to one of these sub-disciplines.
Below is a list of topics from which you must
choose. Feel free to combine topics that seem to fit with one
another. It is recommended that you choose a topic that
interests you or that you have thought about previously.
In philosophical papers, it is always best to present both sides
of the issue (remember that there are usually more than two
sides to any issue), and then to present the side that you find
the most convincing. Remember to back up your position
with logical reasoning and factual evidence. In addition, be
sure to utilize the philosophical content and ideas that you
have encountered in this course.
Identify the specific issue.
Make clear one basic dispute over this issue.
Clarify the arguments on multiple sides of the issue.
Structure an argument that supports the side of the issue you
find to be better defended.
2. Explain why you find that side of the debate superior.
State your own view, and defend it with an argument.
Provide at least two references for each side of the debate.
Utilize the philosophical theories and ideas that you have
encountered in this course as much as possible.
In order to write a strong paper, you will need to clearly and
specifically present both sides of the debate using at least
five academic sources in addition to the course text, three of
which can be found in the Ashford Online Library.

Is it necessary to have universal ethical principles?
What are the fundamental principles of ethics?
What is the good life and how does one achieve it?

What is an ethically bad life? How do we know?
How do humans differentiate between good and bad in the
realm of ethics?
Do ethical actions have value apart from the outcomes of
those actions?
Are humans free or determined, and how does this
perspective relate to human responsibility?
Epistemology
What can humans know for certain and how can they justify
that they actually know what they think they know?
What are the limits of human perception and cognition?
What is the relationship between scientific knowledge and
other types of knowledge?
What are the limits of skepticism?
What are the differences between the mind and the brain?
3. Is radical relativism defensible?
What is the best epistemological argument and explanation
of how humans perceive their worlds?
How did human consciousness emerge and where is it
headed?
Religion
Is proof for the existence of God necessary?
Which argument for the existence of God is strongest? Why?
What are the foundations of the universe and from where
did the universe emerge?
Can one be moral and not believe in God?
Can God and real evil be reconciled?
Are science and religion in conflict?
Can God’s omniscience and human free will be reconciled?
Is there a rational argument for atheism?
