1) Restate/explain (in your own words) Ludwig-Maximilians’ argument for the conclusion
that Fake News is a variant of Frankurtian Bullshit.
2) Please go back and read Frankfurts On Bullshit. This will help out.
3) This paper will be a little more difficult as Maximilians’ argument is lengthier and not as
straight forward as Singer’s and Rachele’s.
4) Here is a skeleton of Maximilians’ argument for his conclusion. Again, this sketch is a
summary of the main ideas and is presented is a slightly different fashion than what he
does in the article (so make sure to read the article):
(Premise 1) [he explains what Frankurtian Bullshit is]
(Premise 2) [he provides an analysis of fake news in terms of Frankurtian Bullshit ]
(Premise 3)] [he provides clear example of a fake news case and cases that are not fake news]
(Premise 4) [he explains how his analysis of fake news is able do account for the clear case of fake
news and explain away the cases that are not.
(C) Fake news is a version of Frankfurtian Bullshit.
As you read the article, identify the sections where he is brining up these points and in
your paper elaborate on them. Make a coherent presentation for Maximilians’ position.
5) After you have done that, reflect on Maximilians’ conclusion and his reasons for the
conclusion.
Do you agree with Rachels? Why or why not? Please elaborate.
What do you see to be a possible problem with his argument?
Your paper must be written in a standard 12-point font, Times New Roman, double-spaced,

Content Instructions
1. The first paragraph must effectively, and clearly, introduce the topic and purpose of the
paper.
2. Do not begin your paper with a sentence like “Since the dawn of time, humans have
wondered about the nature of morality,” or something along those lines. Just get to the
point of the paper. Instead, you can begin with something like “This paper critically
examines ….”. Then you can move into what the topic/purpose of the paper is.
3. Write your paper so that it can be understood by an undergraduate student who has
taken one prior philosophy course.
4. Make sure your sentences are grammatical and words are correctly spelled (read your
paper out loud, or have someone read it out loud to you).
5. Use short simple sentences when possible.
6. Make sure the paper is well structured. In other words, make sure it is easy to follow
what you are saying from paragraph to paragraph.
7. Make sure the paper accurately and thoroughly addresses the main questions of the
prompt.
8. Adequately define and explain technical terms. In other words, would a reader
unfamiliar with the material be able to understand the philosophical terms/jargon you
are using? (if you are not sure, have someone not taking the class read your paper).
9. Overall, make sure the paper gives a sense that you (the author) understands the
material and are able to explain it in a clear and effective way.
