Topics for your Essay, Choose A or B

Essay Length tips: To answer these topics completely, it takes about 2 pages – 8-10 paragraphs. Use the topic questions and the scoring rubric to see if your draft responds fully to all parts of the question. A complete, thoughtful answer is more important than word count.

Topic A

What is Martin Gardner’s argument for the objectivist view of art? Do you agree? Why or why not?

Use Vaughn’s textbook to help you explain Gardner’s theory and its strengths and weaknesses. Choose an object, performance, or piece of writing as an example, and explain whether Gardner’s theory would classify the object as Art. Do you agree with objectivism about Art or do you find another theory more convincing? Defend your point of view.

Topic B

Using Vaughn’s Ch. 8 and the excerpts from Locke reprinted there, explain Locke’s view of human nature. Use details from the textbook to support your description of his view. Next, explain Hobbes’s view of human nature, again using details from the textbook to support your description of Hobbes’s view. How does Locke’s view of human nature differ from Hobbes’ view? Which thinker’s argument do you find more convincing? Explain fully, and defend your answer.
