I just need it before 11am tomorrow morning
Students will work to discern and construct the worldview emerging out of the readings and lectures on Socrates. This paper should include two main parts: (i) describing how Socrates would answer 4 fundamental questions (you can choose any 4 from our list), and (ii) providing at least one critique of Socrates’ worldview based (in part) upon the worldview tests. Most of your paper (e.g., about 3/4) should be on part (i).
Requirements:
– The paper should be constructed in an essay format, composed of prose writing organized by paragraphs. The main sections and subsections of the paper should be clearly identified (e.g., Part 1: Socrates’ Worldview, then Origin, Condition, etc.; Part 2: Critique of Socrates’ Worldview).
– 1,500 words minimum. The paper must meet the minimum requirements for length but may exceed this.
– The specific formatting style (e.g., MLA, Chicago, APA) is not important; all standard styles are acceptable. A works cited page is not required.
– Submission files type must be one of the following: Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX), Adobe Acrobat documents (PDF), Plain text files (TXT). BE SURE TO VIEW YOUR SUBMISSION AND SUBMISSION RECEIPT. You are given only 2 submission chances. Any submission errors (wrong file type, wrong file, incomplete submission, etc) will result in either a 0 or be subjected to late penalties listed in the syllabus. Please direct any submissions problems to NAU-IT 24hr support: https://www2.nau.edu/stc/
Expectations & Grading:
– Basic Requirements: does the paper meet the basic requirements for subject, format, and length?
– Use of Sources: does the paper demonstrate a use and engagement with the breadth of primary sources, reference key passages from those readings for the various worldview questions, and incorporate material from course lectures? Papers should avoid two extremes: very little references to the texts/sources (e.g., less than 10% of the paper) and continual and extensive quotation of the text (e.g., more than 50% of the paper).
– Analysis: does the paper probe the conceptual depth of the various topics and answers to the fundamental questions which emerge in the primary sources? Is attention given to the various textual subtleties and nuances, as well as underlying doctrinal relationships exhibited by the figure/tradition? (basically, how insightful are your specific textual/conceptual observations).
– Synthesis: does the paper draw together various conceptual strands provided by the analysis of primary sources into a succinct yet informative descriptions for each of the fundamental questions? (basically, how many different textual citations and sources are your drawing together to support your views).
– Critique: does the paper use the worldview criteria to provide critical appraisal of the worldview? Is the critique thoughtful, attempting to identify potential weakness, probing questions, or doctrinal concerns regarding the figure/tradition? Does the paper do more than simply register disagreement (e.g., Socrates believed X, but I don’t believe X)? Does it attempt to provide arguments against the figure’s ideas?
• Note: this course we will utilize SafeAssign, an automated system which compares each student’s assignment with billions of web sites, as well as an enormous database of student paper submissions, including papers from previous semesters of this course. After the assignment is processed, a report is automatically generated that details if and how another author’s work was used in the assignment.

Example:
Attached here: Krishna Paper Example.docx This is a sample of a worldview paper (which received a 94%). This one was not on Socrates but on Krishna-Hinduism. It offers a good example of meeting the various requirements, formatting, and criteria above. The student’s name has been removed. However, this is just an example and you need not copy each and every element of it.

and then the fundamental questions to choose from are:
Why is there something rather than nothing/Where did the universe come from?
What is humanities most basic problem?
What are the central moral principles?
What is the purpose of life?
What if anything will bring a deep sense of fulfilment/contentment?
What happens to a human beings when they die?

and than world view criteria would be the worldview tests: Worldview Tests
1. Justification
Does the worldview offer supporting arguments?
Are the answers to the FQ backed by good reasons/evidence?
2. Logical Consistency
Is the explanation logically coherent?
Are the answers to the FQ consistent with one another?

Scientism – the belief that things need to be scientifically proven

Facts/Evidence/data/phenomena —> Abduction:Inference to be test explanation —–> Assumption//theories/explanation/hypothesis

3. Explanatory Scope – How wide
Does the explanation account for a wide range of evidence?
Does the worldview explain the full range of FQ?
4. Explanatory Power – How deep/thorough/complete
Is the explanation of the evidence through?
How well/fully does the worldview explain particular FQs?
5. Plausibility
Does the worldview match up with commonly accepted or well established beliefs?
