Order Description

Nausea and The Stranger
Write a paper that discusses these two classics of existentialist fiction, and does so through answers to the following questions:

What sort of person is the main character in each novel? Provide your psychological portrait of each, and touch on what you take to be significant
differences between them.

In what ways does each represent existentialism? And which most successfully does this, in your view, and why?

Regardless of whatever other traits in each you highlight, analyze each according to the concepts of authenticity-inauthenticity and/or bad faith-good faith. Be sure to also explain these concepts

*
You may refer to other primary works than those we’ve covered in class, but your main focus should be readings from Solomon or those posted on Canvas. Part of your task will be to choose which readings and passages to
focus on.
*You may make use of outside secondary literature, but use of this must be limited to supporting your own interpretations. You must list any such source in your reference list. You must also indicate within the body of your paper, using a footnote or parenthetical note, when you’re using that source and indicate the page number of the source.

Grading Criteria 1. Understanding of ideas and concepts and clarity of expression
How well do you understand the topic on which you are writing? To what degree have you mastered the relevant concepts, theories, and specific arguments that make up the issue on which you’re focusing? How well do understand the readings involved, and how clearly do you explain these? NOTE: As discussed in class, proofreading is key to writing clearly! A sentence may seem clear to you when you first write it. But returning to it later may reveal unclear sentences and passages that you didn’t initially notice.
2. Clarity and strength of your arguments
Is the thesis of your paper (the conclusion that you defend) clearly stated? Are your premises clearly stated? Do your premises support your conclusion? Are the premises on which you rely true, or at least plausible? Do you provide secondary arguments in support of your more controversial premises? Do you anticipate and respond to potential objections to your view? 3. Originality
Does your essay contain your own original thinking, e.g., an argument of your own, or a unique way of interpreting or extrapolating from something another philosopher has written? Do you provide original examples to illustrate the points that you are making? NOTE: I’m not expecting entirely novel ideas (something no one has ever thought of before). Think carefully about what you believe on the topic you’ve chosen. Before you begin writing your paper, make notes on your stance, including why you hold the position you do. This exercise will help you meet this third criterion.
4. Organization
Is the paper clearly organized, with section breaks where appropriate and “sign post” language to guide the reader from one idea to the next? Do the transitions between paragraphs in a given section make sense? Do the transitions between sections make sense? Are you making clear to the reader what work each section of the paper is supposed to be doing?
5. Grammar, punctuation, and spelling
Is the paper clearly organized, with section breaks where appropriate and transition language to guide the reader from one idea to the next? Do the transitions between paragraphs in a given section make sense? Do the transitions between sections make sense? Are you making it clear to the reader what work each section of the paper is supposed to be doing?
