The Theme Of Sacrifice In The Fear And Trembling
PAPER LENGTH and FORMAT: 6-8 pages of text, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins. Must have a separate title page containing the title of your paper, your name, my name, course name, and the Honor Code Pledge: (I affirm that I have upheld the highest principles of honesty and integrity in my academic work and have not witnessed a violation of the Honor Code). Upload papers into Moodle, in .doc, .docx, or .pdf format.
SOURCES and STYLE: Please use a legitimate style for your citations (APA, Chicago, MLA, etc.) I do not care which style, so long as you are consistent.
You need to consult and incorporate at least ONE secondary source. A secondary source is a piece of scholarly work, written about a primary source. To ‘incorporate' it means to use it in a substantive way in your essay. These may be peer-reviewed journal articles or books. VERY IMPORTANT: ARTICLES NEED TO BE LOCATED THROUGH THE USE OF THE PHILOSOPHER'S INDEX (See separate document for instructions).
TOPIC SUGGESTIONS:
1) Explore the theme of sacrifice in Fear and Trembling.
2) Compare and contrast Todd May and Simone de Beauvoir on the question of the significance of death in the life of the human being.
3) Analyze the connection between the feminine and death in Shelley's Frankenstein.
4) Contrast the views of nature as presented in Frankenstein and the Tao Te Ching.
5) Critique or defend some aspect of either Kierkegaard or Hume, as regards their position concerning the divine.
6) Articulate and defend a ‘meaning of life' in Kafka's The Trial.
7) Discuss in depth the presentation of gender in Fight Club, and compare/contrast it with that in Frankenstein.
8) Choose your own adventure. If you would like to create your own topic, feel free to do so. But it's a good idea to run it by me first.
