Original Philosophical Argument with Socratic Defence

12 weeks · 0 milestones

Construct an original philosophical argument (minimum 1,000 words) on a real contested philosophical question. State a clear thesis, defend it with premises and supporting reasoning, acknowledge the strongest objection, and respond to it. The Socratic dialogue is a REQUIRED component of this outcome — not optional. A qualified philosopher, logician, or philosophy academic poses at least four substantive challenges to your argument; your responses are recorded or documented in writing. The full exchange — both the challenges and your responses — is submitted alongside the original argument. This outcome cannot be completed without a real qualified interlocutor: the dialogue is the proof, not a supplement to it. The essay alone is not sufficient.
