Writing UK Philosophy Essays: Argument, Counter-Argument, Defence
Philosophy essays are arguments - not surveys of what philosophers think. Here's the structure UK markers reward.
UK philosophy markers reward arguments, not summaries. State your thesis, defend it with reasons, address the strongest counter, defend again.
Take a side
The fence is the lowest-marked seat in UK philosophy. Pick a position, defend it rigorously, acknowledge the strongest objection, and explain why your position survives the objection.
