Question Posted Wednesday November 24 2010, 3:05 pm
I'm looking for an Advicenator here who has some basic knowledge in Philosophy and is also able to help me understand how a good, strong Philosophy essay should be constructed. I am in no way asking for you to do my homework, or to explain any philosophy to me. I am only in need for an explanation of how I should structure my essay.
If anyone is interested, it would be much appreciated, and I will provide more information in a private question.
Thank you! :)

all you have to do is follow the basic structure of an essay- first, establish your thesis, say for example, Solipsism is real, and the whole universe, including you, is just a construct of my mind.
then, in the next three segments, have three good points as to why the thesis is true, for example- due to the universe being a construct, there is no such thing as hard evidence that the universe truly exists, things like that.
the last segment of your essay should be a summary, something that brings your three points made together. Philosophy essays are too easy, as long as you follow the golden rule of logic.
Good luck, Aristotle
