In this paperwork PHI 208 Final Argument Paper you will find 
review on the problem 
General Questions - General General Questions 
Final Argumentative Paper 
Three important sub-disciplines of philosophy are addressed 
in this course: ethics, epistemology, and religion. For this 
paper, you will develop an argument that includes your own 
view on one specific topic relating to one of these sub-disciplines. 
Below is a list of topics from which you must 
choose. Feel free to combine topics that seem to fit with one 
another. It is recommended that you choose a topic that 
interests you or that you have thought about previously. 
In philosophical papers, it is always best to present both sides 
of the issue (remember that there are usually more than two 
sides to any issue), and then to present the side that you find 
the most convincing. Remember to back up your position 
with logical reasoning and factual evidence. In addition, be 
sure to utilize the philosophical content and ideas that you 
have encountered in this course. 
Identify the specific issue. 
Make clear one basic dispute over this issue. 
Clarify the arguments on multiple sides of the issue. 
Structure an argument that supports the side of the issue you 
find to be better defended.
Explain why you find that side of the debate superior. 
State your own view, and defend it with an argument. 
Provide at least two references for each side of the debate. 
Utilize the philosophical theories and ideas that you have 
encountered in this course as much as possible. 
In order to write a strong paper, you will need to clearly and 
specifically present both sides of the debate using at least 
five academic sources in addition to the course text, three of 
which can be found in the Ashford Online Library. 
Select a topic from the following sub-disciplines: 
Ethics 
What is the most convincing ethical system? Why? 
Is it necessary to have universal ethical principles? 
What are the fundamental principles of ethics? 
What is the good life and how does one achieve it? 
Is ethics natural or learned behavior? 
What is an ethically bad life? How do we know? 
How do humans differentiate between good and bad in the 
realm of ethics? 
Do ethical actions have value apart from the outcomes of 
those actions? 
Are humans free or determined, and how does this 
perspective relate to human responsibility? 
Epistemology 
What can humans know for certain and how can they justify 
that they actually know what they think they know? 
What are the limits of human perception and cognition? 
What is the relationship between scientific knowledge and 
other types of knowledge? 
What are the limits of skepticism? 
What are the differences between the mind and the brain?
Is radical relativism defensible? 
What is the best epistemological argument and explanation 
of how humans perceive their worlds? 
How did human consciousness emerge and where is it 
headed? 
Religion 
Is proof for the existence of God necessary? 
Which argument for the existence of God is strongest? Why? 
What are the foundations of the universe and from where 
did the universe emerge? 
Can one be moral and not believe in God? 
Can God and real evil be reconciled? 
Are science and religion in conflict? 
Can God’s omniscience and human free will be reconciled? 
Is there a rational argument for atheism? 
The paper must be six to eight pages in length, formatted 
according to APA style, and include a title and a reference 
page (which does not count towards the page length). 
Support your point with examples from the text and at least 
five sources, three of which can be found in the Ashford 
Online Library. For information regarding APA samples and 
tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, within the 
Learning Resources tab on the left navigation toolbar. 
Writing the Final Argumentative Paper 
The Final Paper:

formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford 
Writing Center.

Date submitted 
Must begin with an introductory paragraph that has a 
succinct thesis statement. 
Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought. 
Must end with a conclusion that reaffirms your thesis. 
Must use at least five scholarly sources, including a minimum 
of three from the Ashford Online Library. 
Must document all sources in APA style, as outlined in the 
Ashford Writing Center. 
Must include a separate reference page, formatted according 
to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. 
Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will 
be used to evaluate your assignment. 
If you are moving out of state or plan to live on campus, 
carefully consider whether bringing your own vehicle is a 
good idea. It may be difficult to find a place to park, 
especially in crowded cities. You can also have a hard time 
with other expenses if you're not employed....
