Discussion Board Topic:
1) Explain Edmund Gettier’s argument from his article, Is Justified True Belief Knowledge? Present an argument either in defense or against Edmund Gettier’s objections to the justified-true-belief notion of knowledge. 
2) Explain Peter Unger’s argument from his piece, An Argument for Skepticism. Do you think Peter Unger is correct to claim that certainty is required for knowledge? If so, then offer an argument in defense of his position. If not, then offer an argument in objection to his position. 
3) Does Descartes argument about his own existence give us reason to reject Unger’s claim that certainty requires one to be dogmatic, and thus it is unreasonable to claim certainty? If so, then offer an argument in defense of this position. If not, then offer an argument in objection to this position.

Write a philosophical analysis on the ethical implications of using artificial intelligence in every aspect of our lives. Find two sources to show why it is unethical and find two different sources to show why it is ethical. The paper should ultimately argue that the ethics of artificial intelligence is largely contigient upon humans and since humans have the capacity to be unethical, there is potential trouble, but it cannot be attributed to artificial intelligence itself. 

For the final position paper, consult five academic sources (not including assigned class readings) and compose a 7-page essay (not including cover page and references). The topic can be anything we touched on throughout the entire course, except for topics you wrote about in the first two papers.
Instructions for Position Papers from the Syllabus
Purpose: The research papers in this course invite you to pursue a question more deeply than it was covered in the course materials, with the aid of outside research.
In each of the three papers, research and respond to a philosophical issue touched on in the course materials. Expect to spend time investing sustained thought on issues you find relevant and important on the topics of ethics (paper 1), beauty (paper 2), and any other course subject different from those in your first two papers.
After consulting the prescribed number of academic sources (not counting readings assigned for class) compose an argumentative essay in which you
– outline and argue for your position,
– consider and fairly represent the best objection or two to your position
– and respond to that best objection.
Your argument must actually take and defend a specific position and not just report the range of positions others take. These papers are not a survey of available positions or a history of the topic; they are position papers in which you state and defend a thesis.
You are encouraged to adjust your position as a result of your research. While you need not be fully convinced of your position personally (and you are strongly encouraged to continue exploring lingering questions after this course); nevertheless, your thesis and argument should be firm, specific, well-reasoned, and intellectually humble.

In this assignment, you will analyze the rhetorical strategies—and whether these strategies are effective—of one of the following: Adichie’s “We Should All Be Feminists,” Graff’s “Hidden Intellectualism,” or Gay’s “The Illusion of Safety/the Safety of Illusion.” Choose just one essay. Your analysis should include an assessment of the context and the rhetorical situation as well as a close analysis of rhetorical appeals. Identify the argument the author makes. If you had to summarize the author’s stance, what would you say is their stance? Now, how does the author develop and support that argument? What strategies and devices do they use? Note key passages, recurring phrases or images, powerful metaphors or analogies, use of real-world examples, and any other textual elements that advance his/her argument. Since ethos, pathos, and logos are universal elements of persuasive writing, you ought to discuss how the author uses one, two, or all three of these rhetorical appeals, as well as other factors that impact the strengths and weaknesses of the author’s argument. Yes, use the words ethos, pathos, and logos in your analysis. Ultimately, you should offer a clear evaluation of their work by addressing this question: How effective is the author’s message?
