General Instructions

1. Block off two (2) hours of your time and keep it absolutely sacred as your own to write the exam.

2. Use whatever sources you wish preparing for the writing period, but do not interrupt to find further information once you have begun writing.

3. Document your references to specific claims as this may be necessary, but do not worry about the specific forms of documentation in this exercise and do not produce a bibliography.

4. Send the finished document to mmmiller@tampabay.rr.com as an attachment, making sure that in the internet page itself and in your document you give your name, role number, and the course, i.e., PHIL 202 History of Philosophy: Modern to Contemporary.

any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

How come? Have you not paid attention to the course you've been following?

"in the internet page itself" is a curious phrase. The instruction is to send an e-mail, not to visit a page.

The course title is different from the title in the heading, PHIL 231 Philosophy of Religion

"Role" is the wrong spelling in this context.

No intelligent seeker of help with homework would include their tutor's e-mail address.

I conclude that if anyone sends an e-mail to the purported tutor, he or she may end up on some spammer's list.

Well played sir!

1a. Plato would say nothing is immoral without the form of immorality. If one waits in the queue for 3 hours to obtain and file the proper form from the office of immorality, special dispensation may be obtained.

2c. Descartes' cogito found god when Rene's scientific observations ran afoul of the church's teachings. He understood what happened to Galileo.

3d. Hume's awakening of Manny lead to contradictory reasoning to re-create the golden rule.

I don't think this was much help...
