write a paper that has a clear thesis and evidently uses concepts and readings from the course–thus far–to examine claims presented in the Radiolab program.

As you listen, take note of the themes, topics, or ideas that interest you and that you can explicitly connect to items from this unit. For your writing assignment, write a paper that has a clear thesis and evidently uses concepts and readings from the course–thus far–to examine claims presented in the Radiolab program.

Start with making a careful summary of two of the philosophers we had in Unit 2. What were their main concepts and definitions, what were their distinctions? How did they imagine that the self was different from the brain or different from the mind? Restate their theory and include “direct quotes”, specific references from their work.
Summarize a particular position that you heard during the podcast that is different from at least one of the philosophers that you summarized. What did the podcast say, what was their view?
Explain carefully how these views compare and contrast. How do they define a key concept or make a major distinction differently?
Which view would you agree with the most, and why?
