Description: This is a reflection paper on Astell, Hume, Rousseau, Kant, Ottobah and the Declarations. The goal of the paper is for you to reflect on what resonated with you from at least four (4) of the philosophers, topics, ideas we’ve studied thus far. Explain what resonated with you and why. The primary topics are listed below, yet, you may write on what you wish. While it is a reflection paper, this is an academic paper. Therefore, you must defend what resonates with you by using evidence (quotes from the readings) and a line of reasoning.
Topics
1. Education and the Freedom of Women, Astell; and the Freedom of Slaves, Ottobah
2. Social Contract Theory: Rousseau’s, Hobbes’s, and the Declarations
3. Contents of the Human Mind: Hume’s Empiricism and Kant’s Transcendentalism (Rationalism and Empiricism
Line of Reasoning: In your paper, you will take a position on at least four of the philosophers and or ideas we have studied. Feel free to include the philosophers from module one as well in addition to the required four from module two.
1. Mary Astell
2. David Hume
3. Jean Jacques Rousseau
4. Immanuel Kant
5. Ottobah Cugoano
6. (a.) Declaration of Rights of Man and the Citizen; (b) Declaration of Independence
As you develop your rational defense of your position, please keep in mind that it is not merely a matter of taste, opinion, what you’ve always believed, etc, but rather it must be a position you can defend with textual evidence (quotes) and a line of reasoning.

Writing a Philosophy Paper Guidelines
• Grammar matters. Please use complete sentences.
• Reasoning matters. Please be sure that sentences relate to each other. For example, sentence
two follows from sentence one, and so on.
• Use new paragraphs to indicate a new idea.
• Consider using sub-headings to organize your thoughts and convey them in an organized
fashion.
• Be sure to introduce a quote and follow it with a sentence explaining why it is important to the
point you are defending.
• The goal is, in short, to understand the material, convey an understanding of the material, take a
position on the material, and defend the position with reasoning, and quotes from the text and
your own experience as evidence.
• While word count and page number matters, conveying your point and defending your position
matters as well.
