Description

The focus is on brief but important primary source material written by major authors. Read the selections as identified with each topic. Write a three to four (3-4) paragraph essay (250 words minimum) which analyzes the "surprise ending" of reading selection. Reading selection from Descartes' Discourse on the Method (Part IV), Descartes begins with a proof of one basic conclusion and ends with a proof of something much grander. Remember to focus on the surprise and point of realization, not the details of the philosophical argument. Read Part IV of the Discourse om the Method located at http://ww.earlymoderntexts.com/assets/pdfs/descart... 1637.pdf (scroll down to part 4, pp. 14-18). This is only four or five (4or5) pages of the larger work. Clearly state in your own words the "surprise ending" in the reading you selected. Clearly identify the point in the reading that surprised you. Not all of the surprises come at the end. Evaluate how successful the author was in convincing you to accept the validity of the "surprise ending" that was different from what you expected. Use the source(s) identified above for the topic you choose, focusing on the main primary source of that author. You may use additional sources also if they are good academic quality for college papers. Use proper APA style in test citing and also a matching APA stlye Reference list at the end
