The first paper will be due in conferences on Friday, January 27. The topic is the following:

Does Gaunilo's `Lost Island' argument show that Anselm's argument for the existence of God is not sound? Say why or why not.

The paper should be a maximum of 300 words in length, which is about one side of one page with normal font, spacing, and margins.

The paper will be worth 10% of your grade, and will be graded from 1-10. For each day that the paper is late, 0.5 points will be deducted from your grade.

If you have any questions, you should feel free to contact me or the TA in charge of the conference to which you have been assigned. If you'd like some guidance on how to approach writing a philosophy paper, see the links here.
