Write a PRECISE AND CLEAR essay on the topic given below. The essay should be
approximately 4-5 doublespaced pages in length (1200-1500 words by computer word
count).TopicIn the Apology, Socrates describes his motives for examining others using the
Socratic method.Write a 4-5 page paper, double-spaced, in which you(a) explain how these
motives are at workin his examination of Euthyphro (making specific references to the text
of the Euthyphro), and(b) assess the utility of this method for achieving the purposes
Socrates outlines. (In otherwords, is this a good way to achieve the goals Socrates has in
mind? Is there possibly a betterway to achieve these goals?)Further Guidelines
(IMPORTANT)1. Content:Given the length restrictions of this paper, you should not fill the
little space you have withextended introductions or wrap-ups: these should be kept concise
so that you can get quicklyinto the body of your paper. For the same reason, you should
avoid unnecessary repetition andpadding. The following tips should guide you in your
work:• State your aim clearly in a brief introduction.• Discuss only material that is relevant
to your aim.• Direct quotations should be kept brief (one or two sentences) and used only
for the purposeof illustrating points you have already encapsulated in your own words.• A
concluding paragraph is unnecessary, though you may include one (i.e. a very brief one)
ifyour space permits.2. Citations:This is not a research essay. It is therefore strongly advised
that you restrict your attention tothe relevant course texts, rather than trying to find
additional sources either in the library or onthe web.
