‘SKEPTICISM’ QUESTIONS

/in /by

Question A. In chapter 2, Lynch discusses the relationship between emotion and reason. What are the Platonic and Humean pictures of that
relationship? Why does Lynch reject them? Which picture (Plato’s, Hume’s, Lynch’s, or other) do you find most plausible? Why?
Question B. As Lynch explains in chapter 2, some ‘alarming’ studies make some researchers skeptical of reason. Why is that? According to Lynch,
however, “studies of this sort don’t in fact undermine the importance of reason.” (14) Explain how Lynch uses the notion of intuition, as well as the QuineDuhem hypothesis to show that. Do you agree with Lynch that those studies are not alarming? Why?
Question C. In chapter 3, Lynch writes that: “fundamental epistemic principles cannot be defended by appeal to reasons appreciable from a common
point of view. Reason, as we might put it, can’t defend itself.” (56) What does that mean, and why does Lynch say that? In answering, make sure to
explain (only) one of the following two problems: Agrippa’s trilemma (aka the regress problem) or David Hume’s problem of induction. Do you agree that
reason ‘cannot defend itself’ (that it can only be given a circular defense and/or that a circular defense cannot justify anything)? Why?

A literary analysis essay

/in /by

Create a literary analysis essay built on close readings of 1-2 fictional texts. After you have selected one aspect of the text(s), reread the text(s), looking for patterns. Think about how and why the author uses the elements of fiction to create meaning. Try to be specific. Something like “Shirley Jackson’s ‘The Lottery’ uses foreshadowing” is a fact, not a thesis. You will have to think about how and why she uses foreshadowing. Then you have an interpretation that will need proof, which is much better.

If you select two fictional texts, you should choose ones that have a significant similarity in the element you wish to discuss. Then you can compare and contrast the texts to find patterns. You may wish to consider a topic that you have already thought about or something mentioned on the course Content.

Proposal outline

Explain Swift’s decision to use satirical logic using these three terms of Toulmin’s Argument format

Label Swift’s Claim (Something about his decision to tell a sick joke)

Label Swift’s Warrant (A reason why satire is safer than a serious complaint)

Label Swift’s Support (Some evidence or proof)

Discuss the intent of Swift in writing this

Who is his audience?
Why do you think he would try to reach them by using a satirical argument?
How might his audience have reacted to this 18th century political commentary?
How would their reaction differ if his argument was straightforward?
What is your reaction to this grotesquely written proposal?
Find a modern context connection

What are some modern contextual examples that might parallel Swift’s clever means of social commentary?
How does your understanding of these modern satires influence your perception of Swift and the accomplishments of this text?
Reflect on the social/political value of satire in the media

Juxtapose Swift’s work with some modern contextual examples as you analyze the value of satire.

Project management

/in /by

Consider a past situation where you were a member of a team that was involved in a project. Ideally, this situation should be where you currently work. However, you can use any situation or experience in your personal life as well. If you are at a loss of thinking of a scenario – then you may choose to make up a project that may be of interest to you instead.

Describe the overall project goals and your role in the project.
Explain how the project scope was clearly defined at the beginning of the project or how it was not clearly defined.
Prepare and share with us a listing of deliverables from your project. Offer at least 5 deliverables and two work packages per deliverable. Identify the WBS code accordingly. For example:
Breakdown

Description

WBS Code

1.1.2

Deliverable 2

Deliverable 2 Description

Finally, complete a quick google search, and locate a website (that appears credible) that presents an example WBS. Share the link with your peers along with a sentence or two related to how their WBS aligns to the typical structure of a WBS as presented in the week introduction.
