Question

Do you agree with Nagel's comparison between absurdity and skepticism?

1. Exposition First, and most importantly, you should give a careful exposition of Nagel's argument. This should constitute approximately 1/2 of your essay. Make sure that your exposition is focused. In other words, if you are dealing with one part of Nagel's argument, there is no need for you to summarize the whole paper. You are partly being evaluated on your ability to focus your paper on the topic that you are interested in. Ask yourself: What is the structure of Nagel's argument? What are his premises? What are his conclusions? What support does he offer for his premises? (You may, if you wish, set out part of all of Nagel's argument in standard form, as part of your exposition. But if you, you must still describe the argument: in other words, the standard form cannot be the entirety of your exposition.)

2. Critical Evaluation Second, you should offer a critical evaluation of exactly one part or aspect of Nagel's argument. This should come in the second part of your essay, after the exposition, and should constitute approximately 1/2 of your essay. Your critical evaluation should be narrowly.
