Philosopher
This exercise will ask that you do some research, reading, and writing with one philosopher from our work together.
Choose one philosopher you have studied and read beyond what has been offered in the PDFs. You can purchase such works as The Obstacle is the Way by Ryan Holiday, or any of Holiday’s other books, or feel free to purchase a book by Alain de Botton or The School of Life.
In the essay, choose 1-3 topics that the philosopher focuses on. Spend time reading the text and find examples of how the philosopher discusses the topic(s). Using the reading questions from the syllabus as guides, write how the philosopher understands that topic.
Respond to this in size 12, Times New Roman font in 3-4 double-spaced pages. Also, be sure to use direct textual evidence from the source of your choice.
