. When we say that pursuing knowledge or wisdom for its own sake has intrinsic value, what does that statement mean? If you disagree, please explain the grounds for your disagreement.

Write a short paper (200-450 words, about three pages typed and double spaced). The point of
these papers will be to focus on one particular argument or theory. The goal is not to do research
(looking up stuff in the library) but to focus your thoughts on one argument or one position and dig
deep. Your grade on these essays will be primarily based on the clarity of your writing (that means
grammar is important), the command of the material and the “depth” of your explanations. Which
side of the issue you are on is completely irrelevant, what matters is how well you state your
case. Please consult the course calendar and syllabus for the due date. Please upload your essays
into Blackboard through the appropriate dropbox.
