    GOD TJANK YOU FOR THIS. I have a 15 page paper due for my Phil class and I was having a mental breakdown thinking about all the outside research/sources, but you just made me feel so much better

    Bro I'm just taking an ethics class/ inro to philosophy. I have no clue what's going on. I need to write a short paper on arguing the naive view of moral subjectivism. This is more information than I can get out of the instructor on how to write it. Thanks.

    Thank you for this. I am writing a 12-page research paper on Hegel's Aesthetics. His text is so hard to read and understand because it is so dense and long. Looking back retrospectively I am now wishing that I had chosen a different philosopher to write about. However, I do believe that I can make a quality paper if I follow this structure.

    how do you find the opinions, argument, solutions of other philosophers? It seems that philosophers are very verbose and it feels like it is a lot of work to truely understand a philosophers opinion,argument,solution on a certain topic.

      Well, telling you, "I'm not convinced you have actually told me anything, and here's why I have those suspicions", can be different to saying nothing, even though it doesn't have to present any positive claims
