Your paper topic should be a direct question to which your paper is a detailed answer. Often a good place to start is with your own frustration about something we have read or discussed and the more precise the claim or idea is that frustrates you, the better. Then your paper topic can be something like: is that particular claim true/plausible? If you approach it like that (again, it need not be), then the structure of your paper can be as following:
1. Introduction: here you introduce the topic of your paper and get the reader ready to understand your discussion of the topic. (Ideally, your thesis would also be stated here, but you can save it until the end of the paper so long as it is extremely obvious to me what your aim in the paper is).
2. Discussion of author A’s reasons [articles provided] for holding claim C. Here you introduce all philosophical machinery needed to understand C and its significance.
3. Your arguments against A’s reasons for holding C. Your arguments against holding C. Your arguments for holding not-C.
4. Responses to possible objections to your argument.
5. Conclusion: Here you draw together your conclusion and state your thesis clearly.
