INSTRUCTIONS: Using at least three of the concepts listed below, write an essay on an experience, incident, or process you have undergone. Be sure to show how you are using the concepts to illuminate or “think through” (understand, explain, account for) the experience. You can be creative in your writing, but be sure to clearly identify the concept(s) you have chosen (cite the concept at the first instance) and use the concepts in a way that is accurate and appropriate. Ask yourself: how well does this concept travel from the original text to the new context (of my experience?)OBJECTIVE: The learning objective of the assignment is twofold: first, to make explicit connections between the material we are reading in class and your own lived experience. Second, to practice operationalizing (putting into use) the concepts introduced in the class, thereby demonstrating your understanding of them.CRITERIA:Accuracy (/14)How faithful is your use of each concept to the author’s definition?Appropriateness (/14)Are the concepts chosen appropriate? Do they illuminate, explain, or help theorize the experience?Reflexivity (/14)Does the paper demonstrate sustained reflection on the relevance and significance of the material we are studying for your own lived experience?Integration (/14)Is it clear that you have made meaningful connections between the material (the concepts chosen) and your experience?Expression (/14)Is your writing precise, concise, articulate, and direct? Is your paper well organized? Is it engaging?Total (70)DESCARTES’ Meditation on First Philosophy:Withdrawal (meditation, philosophical reflection)Foundationalism (cognitive structures/mapping)First Philosophy (architectural analogies)SubstanceHEGEL'S Lordship and Bondage: Recognition Disillusionment Letting go Passing over Return / Recoil Supersession/Sublation Externalization MARX’S Estranged/Alienated Labor:Estrangement, Alienation (self, Other, world) Authentic Production
