Philosophy 130 – Introduction to Philosophy

Prof. Evans

First Essay Assignment: Plato’s Euthyphro and Apology

The assignment is under “Assessments.”

Your essay should be approximately 500 words.  This gives you an idea of the length I expect, but I don’t count words or pages. Write the best essay that you can.  Answer all questions that appear in bold.  Please type your essay in MS Word and send it to me by email attachment.  Please don’t use any other word processing programs, because I may not be able to open them. 

Your essay should be double-spaced, with margins about 1 inch all the way around.  I do expect that you will proofread your essay and correct typos and grammatical errors.  The date the essay is due is absolutely no later than Sunday, February 6, at 9 pm.

Please include your name in the document name of your essay. This is just for my convenience.

This is not a research assignment.  I strongly recommend that you do not search online for help in writing this essay.  Most of what is online is either junk or simply not relevant for us.  I have designed this assignment so that you need only consult our reading and notes on the chapter and what we discussed in class in order to write a fine essay.  If you have any questions, just ask me.

I also remind you about the policy on plagiarism as stated on our syllabus.

1.         Socrates says that those who fear death think they are wise when they are not.  What did those who fear death fail to examine, thus showing that they are not wise?  How is Socrates different from them on that issue?  How is his discussion of those who fear death, and how he claims to be different from them, an example of what he says the oracle at Delphi meant?

2.         In Socrates’ examination of Meletus, he shows that Meletus has failed to examine something very important.  So what had Meletus failed to examine?  How do we know he had failed to examine it?  And why does it matter that he failed?
