Seminar 6

Your seminar tutor will tell you which of the following two options, Option 1 or Option 2, will be followed in your seminar group.

Option 1

This seminar is a bit different. Instead of discussing a question, we will discuss the short essays you wrote in the light of feedback.

Preparation

• Re-read your essay and the feedback (if available).

• Formulate with care any questions you have about the substance of the essay or the feedback.

• Rehearse a 90 second oral presentation of how you answered the question in your essay.

Option 2

Some seminar groups may not spend all of the time (or even any) on essays.

Reading:

• Rini (2013)

Questions:

1. What is Rini’s main thesis?

2. Which claims does she defend to support this thesis?

3. What objections arise to Rini’s main thesis?
