Template for a Novel Book Review for Philo Elect
Short Bond Paper, Deadline November 21, 2019

Organizing the Review
https://www.hamilton.edu/academics/centers/writing/writing-resources/book-review
1.       All reviews begin with bibliographic information: the author’s name, the book’s full title, place of publication, publisher, edition, date, pagination, and cost, if known.

2.       In no more than two paragraphs, introduce the book. Give your initial appraisal of the work, including your key observation on the text. This key observation will be your thesis. Try not to begin with a flat statement such as “This book is interesting.” Begin with an anecdote, a challenging quotation, or a key observation.

3.       Follow with descriptive analysis and evaluation of the text. You may either treat these topics separately, first describing the book’s contents, the author's argument, presentation, and evidence, and then offering your own evaluation, or you may weave the two together. In either case,
a.       clearly set out the author’s purpose in writing the book, and whether or not you think the author has succeeded.
b.      describe the author’s arguments and the themes of the book, and give your appraisal of their validity and effectiveness.
c.       describe the sources and evidence the author uses to prove his case, and evaluate their appropriateness and sufficiency. What are the author's sources? Should the author have used more, or different, sources?
d.      Comment on the author's organization and writing style.

4.       Conclude. Here you may make more general remarks about the text and the ideas presented in it. If you have not already done so, indicate whether you feel the book is worthwhile, and for what audience. Is the book outstanding? Will it make a lasting contribution to its field, or is it less satisfactory?

  5. Title: Knowing what we do not know
    Knowing what we know (And what we do not know)
    *It seems like we know many facts about ourselves and the world around us, even if there vastly many others we know that we don’t know. But how do we know if what we believe to be true is really knowledge? Can our beliefs be both justified and true, yet still not count as genuine knowledge? If so, then how much confidence should we really have in our beliefs? Is there a way to strike a balance between paralyzing skepticism, on the one hand, and dogmatic conviction, on the other?
    * To know what you know and what we do not know, that is true knowledge.
    -Confucius
    *Socrates said, "All I know is that I know nothing". What I'm trying to figure out is this: if I know NOTHING, how do I KNOW that I know nothing? It just goes round in circles thus becoming nothing more than a paradox.

    I am still searching for philosophers to support my study.
