****** IMPORTANT: Writer must have acess to the book “Existentialism, Basic Writings second edition” as that is where you must pull the 5 quotes from
In this second assignment you will compare and contrast Nietzsche and Heidegger. You have three major tasks:
TASKS:
1. State a contrastive and argumentative thesis in which you relate the thoughts of Nietzsche and Heidegger.
2. Analyze 5 short passages (at least two from each philosopher) that relate to your thesis
3. Formulate a conclusion in which you explicitly relate back to your thesis and tie the different points you made together.
INSTRUCTIONS:
– Only state a thesis (thus, without an introduction)
– Use short quotations and use a proper format of citation
– Learn from your previous essay: look carefully at the comments and rubric (during the semester grading will become harder)
– Length: no more than 700 words and no less than 600 words
