central passages of philosophical texts

Textual Exegesis Paper: The purpose of this assignment is to interpret a central passages of philosophical texts as a careful reader of them. Explaining difficult material in your own words is a skill oflife. In essence, you must restate in your own words the major points raised in the texts under analysis. For this reason, I have chosen a first part and a second part. You must type two pages minimum about the Allegory of the Cave and two pages minimum about on Socratess refutation of the 2nd and 3rddefinitions of piety (the pleasing and loving Gods conception of piety) in Socratess Dialogue with Euthyphro in the second part. Theres no maximum, but only a minimum of four pages double-spaced. I will only accept MS word files in the dropbox, no other file formats will suffice. The Assignment is Due on 2/11 11:59 PM.You may adopt MLA, APA, or Chicago Manual Style. You must cite in one of these formats. Failure to citewill result in marks off. Failure to cite properly will result in marks off. Your paper should be double-spaced with 1 inch margins all around. Part 1: Summarize the main levels of the cave and reference the text when you do so. What is the lowest forms of knowledge in the cave? What is the highest form of knowledge in the cave? What do you take the symbolism of shadow and sun to be in the Allegory of the Cave? Part 2: How does Socrates refute the 2nd and 3rd definition of Piety? Explain Euthyphros definition and Socrates rebuttal of both moments. Give textual support from the source text. Be sure to explain why Socratess rebuttals are so effective. Hint: A good textual exegesis is written to the target audience of the generally educated person who knows nothing about what you are writing about; the target audience for any assignment is NEVER me, the professor. We use writing to see how much you know and how well you understood the readings. Thats why you write to the generally educated person who knows nothing about this topic. This strategy holds for most college writing assignments in other classes. 1. Make sure the paper is carefully proofread. 2. Explain key moments of the argument. 3. Citing some textual passages directly will enhance your ability to show you know where to find support for the claims you are making about the texts in question. 4. Remember that 30% of your grade rests on being able to effectively execute this assignment. Its impossible not to do the readings and do this assignment well. Understanding the material and being able to write about reinforce each other. 5. Do not share your work with other people, even to help guide them. If you want to help, read anotherpersons paper and then make comments. Sad to say, I have had to fail students who were nave in thinking someone else wouldnt replicate their work word for word, and then I am forced to fail both of you. I will use the turnitin.com feature for plagiarism in the dropbox and this should be recognized before you turn in any work in D2L (not just my class
