- Read these pages from the two books (Naked Reverse and Maya: An Irish-American History) and Isolate a single passage in the book that you feel is pivotal to the theme of the book:
- Briefly go through the scene highlighting character, plot, and tropes (metaphors, motifs,
description, etc.)
- Try to discern a particular point of view within the passage that mirrors the book
- Decide whether you agree or disagree with this point of view
- Set out the relevant practical and theoretical philosophical principles at stake and apply
them to the problem.
- Reflect on the significance of your position. What abstract general points about the
world have now been elucidated? * most important point. At least a page.
– Chose 3 from these Philosophical principles to help you create a positive or negative reaction to the
author’s theme (in the small and the large realm). If it is positive, think of bringing up
objectors and refute them. If it is negative, engage in a dialog with the author—ending
up by rejecting position. The theme should be readily understandable from the scene you
have chosen.:
Philosophical principles:
– Living in a world of values
– personal worldview and community worldview
– Relativism
– Egoism
– Are people good or bad?
– Morality and religion
– Feminist ethics
– Ethical intuitionism
– Ethical non cognitivism
– Ethical contractarianism
– Virtue ethics
– Utilitarianism
