Guidelines on Writing a Philosophy Paper
Guidelines on Writing a Philosophy Paper: "Philosophical writing is different from the writing you'll be asked to do in other courses.

Nor should you assume that every writing guideline you've been given by other teachers is important when you're writing a philosophy paper. Some of those guidelines are routinely violated in good philosophical prose (e.g., see the guidelines on grammar, below)."
