ANSWER
ONE
OF
THE
FOLLOWING
QUESTIONS:
1. Love
and
the
Problem
of
Choice

5. (i) Explain
why
Rousseau
believes
that
the
element
of
choice
creates
a
deep
problem
for
love
that
ultimately
makes
us
miserable,
whether
or
not
we
are
in
a
relationship.
(ii) Rapaport

6. responds
to
Rousseau’s
problem
of
choice
by
suggesting
that
we
should
restructure
society,
creating
more
equal
economic
and
social
relations
in
order
to
get
rid
(as
much
as
possible)
of
“competition
for
social

7. status
and
esteem”.
Why
does
she
believe
this
would
help?
(iii) Is
she
right
that
getting
rid
of
such
competition
would
resolve
Rousseau’s
problem
of
choice
and
create
better

8. conditions
for
love
to
flourish,
or
does
romantic
love
depend
on
such
choices?
OR
2. Love,
Idealization,
and
Gender
Equality
(i) Firestone
argues
that
love
is

9. doomed
to
failure
in
a
male-­‐dominated
society,
such
as
our
own.
Explain
her
reasons
for
this
verdict
as
it
pertains
to
how
men
and
women
love
in
such
a
society.

10. (ii) Is
her
assessment
of
the
problem
for
love
correct
with
regard
to
contemporary
American
society?
(iii) Assuming
it
is
correct
and
gender
inequality
is
the
problem,
what

11. social
changes,
if
any,
do
you
think
would
be
necessary
in
order
to
achieve
sufficient
gender
equality
to
allow
love
to
flourish
Instructions:
• Answer
the
question
in
full

12. (each
and
every
part
and
in
that
order).
• When
explaining
your
own
view,
formulate
a
clear
thesis,
make
it
evident
in
your
introduction,
and
support
it
with
specific
reasons
that
go
beyond
“it’s

13. seems
that
way
to
me”
or
“in
my
experience”.
Think
of
yourself
as
trying
to
convince
someone
who
disagrees
with
your
viewpoint.
• You
do
not
need
to
number
your
response
parts,

14. nor
separate
them
into
parts,
though
you
may
do
so
if
you
like.
Good
luck!
COMMON
MISTAKES
TO
AVOID
IN
YOUR
PHILOSOPHY
PAPER

15. By
Shlomo
Sher,
Ph.D.
1. “Philosopher
X’s
theory
is
confusing”
Should
be
obvious,
but…
Tells
the
reader,
“I
don’t
understand
the
theory
and
did
not

16. take
the
time
to
find
out
before
writing
this
paper”.
2. “This
theory
is
unrealistic”
This
is
commonly
used
as
an
out
to
avoid
engaging
with
the
argument
the

17. theory
makes.
Almost
always,
it
indicates
a
failure
to
understand
the
theory
and
its
aims.
3. “The
theory
is
obviously
wrong”
This
is
possible,
but

18. would
we
really
bother
talking
about
it
in
class
if
it
was
not
at
all
plausible?
You
may
have
discovered
valuable
insight
about
the
theory
that
shows
it
to
be
deeply
problematic.

19. However,
that
is
probably
not
the
case.
There’s
one
way
to
find
out
-­‐
explain
this
insight
in
the
form
of
an
argument
and
see
how
well
it
works
out.
Better
yet,

20. have
someone
else
read
your
argument
and
give
you
feedback
on
it.
Respect
the
theory
and
the
theorist.
4. “Everybody
has
a
different
perspective/view
about
X”

21. This
is
very
doubtful
and
not
very
useful.
People’s
beliefs
differ
on
some
subjects,
but
there
it
is
very
difficult
to
think
of
any
topic
at
all
about
which
literally
no

22. one
agrees.
Beliefs
are
subject
to
reasons
and
people
present
reasons
in
justification
for
their
differing
beliefs.
Your
job
is
to
determine
which
beliefs
you
and
others
should
have,
based
on

23. your
analysis
of
the
various
reasons
given
in
their
favor.
5. Everyone
has
a
different
definition
of…
“reasonable”,
responsible,
right/wrong,
good/bad,
justice,
freedom,
etc.”
This
seems

24. very
unlikely.
After
all,
we
talk
about
these
things
as
if
we
understand
them
in
at
least
somewhat
the
same
way.
Language
requires
at
least
some
agreement
o
n
what
words
mean.

25. That
said,
there
are
certainly
competing
ideas
about
what
these
concepts
mean.
We
spend
much
of
the
course
discussing
them
and
their
relative
merits.
6. “X
is
wrong
because

26. it
can’t
be
proven”
This
unfairly
sets
the
standard
for
believing
something
too
high,
making
it
too
easy
to
reject.
Consider
whether
you
mean
that
there
is
no
evidence

27. at
all
in
favor
of
X,
not
enough
evidence
in
favor,
or
the
evidence
is
not
absolutely
conclusive.
We
accept
many
things
based
on
evidence
(empirical
or
rational)
we
consider
to
be

28. sufficient,
though
we
know
that
evidence
to
be
imperfect
–
potentially
wrong
even.
That’s
ok.
As
we
learn
about
evidence
to
the
contrary,
we
may
decide
that
we
no
longer
have

29. sufficient
evidence
for
X
and
give
up
that
belief.
7. The
argument/theory
is
wrong
because
its
conclusion
is
wrong
You
may
disagree
with
the
conclusion
of

30. an
argument.
And
you
may
have
good
reasons
(a
counter-­‐argument)
for
this.
However,
make
sure
that
you
do
not
dismiss
any
argument
based
on
its
conclusion.
Remember,
the
argument
is
presenting

31. evidence
in
favor
of
that
conclusion,
and
so
to
dismiss
the
argument,
you
must
evaluate
that
evidence.
Other
things
to
keep
in
mind:
8. Papers

32. have
word
ranges
for
a
reason.
Claims
require
argumentative
support.
Your
arguments
will
reply
on
some
controversial
premises
or
assumptions
that
will
also
likely
require
argumentative
support.
The
more
support

33. you
are
able
to
offer
in
favor
of
your
view,
the
better
your
paper
will
be.
A
longer
paper
doesn’t
mean
a
better-­‐supported
paper,
but
it
does
at
least
make
it
possible
for

34. you
to
offer
further
support
for
your
claims.
9. Remember
that
explaining
what
you
believe
is
not
the
same
thing
as
justifying
what
you
believe.
The
former
tells
the
reader
a

35. historical
story
of
how
you
came
to
your
belief.
The
latter
offers
the
reasons
that
convince
you
(and
should
convince
others)
that
your
belief
is
correct.
It
should
go
without
saying
that

36. it’s
the
justifying
that
your
paper
should
focus
on,
not
the
explanation.
