In each case, make sense of the authors/ authors positions and reasoning. Aim for 4 for each.
A) Discuss John Stuart Mills simple principle, and the special case of the simple
principle involving thought and expression.
B) Discuss similarities and differences between Hobbess and Rousseaus views of
legitimate political authority.
>> The task is to make sense of an authors position and reasoning. What are they saying
and why would they have thought that? To make sense of an authors position, it doesnt
help to portray them as foolish, however wrong or misguided you personally consider
them to be. Nor does it help to take an authors position and reasoning for granted, as if it there is
no explanation required. Go to as much trouble to make sense of positions and lines of
reasoning that you agree with as you would to make sense of positions you disagree
with.
>> In making sense of the authors in question, it may help to imagine that youre
addressing an audience that is not already familiar with the subject matter. Imagine, for
example, that youre addressing some of your peers who are interested to hear what
your class is about, what sorts of things youre discussing. You have to be a bit of a
teacher to make the authors viewpoints and reasoning understandable to such an
audience.
>> As we all know, an explanation can be too short to make sense of the subject matter. As
we also know, an explanation can be exceedingly long and still fail to make sense of the
topic. Extra pages do not guarantee extra credit.
