First Paper

Papers can be on any topic of your choosing. You should clear your topic with me, which you can do in 30 seconds before or after class. The generic topic is taking two papers we have read and evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of the views expressed with respect to some particular topic.

Example: Dummett vs Hilbert on the justification of mathematics (arithmetic).
