First paper

 

The first paper will be due in conferences on Friday, January 21. In your paper, you should answer the following question:

"Is Anselm's argument valid? Is it sound?"

Clarification in response to questions: By `Anselm's argument', I mean Anselm's argument for the existence of God. Part of this argument is his argument that the position of the Fool implies a contradiction.

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. The list of conferences is available here.
