The University of Texas Aspect of Human Relations and Existence Discussion

I’m working on a philosophy writing question and need guidance to help me understand better.

Firstly, I believe it would be difficult to do this assignment if you haven’t read Nisbett’s Mindware.

The purpose of this exercise is for you to demonstrate that you can communicate effectively in writing and that you have benefited from class sessions and readings. In 1600 to 1800 words, write a review of Nisbett’s Mindware [except chapters 15 and 16]. Summarize its main ideas; connect them, where possible, to ideas presented in class lectures/discussions; and briefly share your own reactions to the book.

When you connect Nisbett to ideas presented in class, two topics in particular stand out; be sure to include them. These topics are confirmation bias and rational choice theory. To cover them, you would want to explain them and give pertinent examples. By giving examples from both videos and book, you demonstrate that you have benefited from class sessions and readings.

This is not a research paper — you are not being asked to find your own sources, to do outside reading, or to argue for any original thesis — but it is a formal paper. It should stand on its own, it should conform to my Guide to Writing as posted on Blackboard, and it should cite the sources it does use, using any reasonable bibliographic format. Your paper should be in MS Word, with 1.5 line spacing, and it should include a word count at the top.

Guide to writing you must follow is attached!
