ORDER YOUR PAPER AND GET QUALITY FOR YOUR MONEY

Students are asked to pick a passage from Hobbes, Locke or Rousseau, and to write an analysis by attending closely to a passage.The point of this exercise is for you to engage with the text on your own terms. You can pick an author whose position you agree with and would like to defend, or one you disagree with and would like to argue against. Find a passage that you think is key to the author’s position on a matter, and analyze it in a way that is relevant to your argument. Try to give your reader a sense of the central argumentative moves made by the author. You can also pull from the rest of the work that you picked a passage from, if you see similar themes, though your main focus should be your passage of choice.Alternately, you could pick a concept from one of the authors and write about that. A lot of them conceptualize terms we use every day in very different way (liberty in Hobbes, for instance, or property in Locke). If you choose this option, you must trace the concept in the entirety of the reading and mention at least two or three different places where it pops up.
