(i) What is an argument that resonated with you from a Unit’s philosophy readings? Be sure to explain both the premise(s) and the conclusion of the argument, and describe how the truth of the premise(s) provide support for the truth of the conclusion.
Note: If you are unfamiliar with philosophical argumentation, please read the 4-page ‘What is an Argument?’ handout provided in Unit Zero.

(ii) How is something from the philosophical argument described in (i) related to or illustrated by some piece of sci-fi? That is, how does some piece of sci-fi express, through fiction, something relevant to the argument described in (i)?

(iii) What is the relevance of (i) and (ii) to your own lived experience? In other words, why does the idea expressed in the philosophical argument in (i) and further elaborated in the related piece of sci-fi in (ii) matter to you? In short, use this part of the essay to work towards meeting the demand of the ancient Delphic maxim, “Know thyself!”
