Summary "Unlike other writing guide books, Writing Philosophy Papers is written specifically for philosophy students as an all-in-one guide to the mechanics of writing philosophy papers in particular. From the conception of a thesis, through the research and organization of an essay, Seech introduces students to the organization, style, and reasoning of several varieties of philosophy papers (compare and contrast, research, and summary and explanatory). Widely used and highly praised in three prior editions, Writing Philosophy Papers is an innovative resource for today's philosophy students and a book that will serve these students well in any additional philosophy classes in which they should be so enlightened to enroll!"--BOOK JACKET
