Write work exploring this argument, assessing the value of applying the different frameworks we have studied to understanding presidential behavior and results.
Answer 1 question (170 points). Please write a 3-4 page (suggested length) work You should write this as clearly as possible and use page citations to support your analysis, but the writing style can be a little more informal than the paper assignments. I might suggest typing it out as if you were in class taking the work, and then going back and adding extra details and page citations (and possibly direct quotes) to strengthen your work:
1. “Political and economic context creates more opportunity for some presidents than for others. But skill determines how well or poorly presidents respond to those opportunities.”
Write work that explores the two sides of this argument while discussing the domestic policy efforts of at least two of the presidents focused on in recent class readings (Johnson, Carter, Reagan, Trump). In other words, please explore how context shapes the possibilities for different presidents, and also consider how their political skills then influence what they accomplish. Make sure you use class frameworks (theories) in your argument. Your work should also provide specific policy examples in relation to each president you are discussing (these can be “successes” and/or “failures” in terms of a given president’s ability to achieve their own policy agenda and related goals).
2. “No one model fully explains the presidency. Instead, we need to combine and contrast insights from multiple models to understand the actions and results of any particular president.”
Is this statement convincing? Write work exploring this argument, assessing the value of applying the different frameworks we have studied to understanding presidential behavior and results. You should focus on the domestic policy of modern presidents, giving concrete examples that support your argument and drawing on a range of perspectives (bargaining /persuasion, going public, political time, structuralism, administrative strategies, etc.). You should discuss in detail at least two modern presidents from among those covered in the last two modules (Johnson, Carter, Reagan, Trump — and also feel free to reference any other examples you find helpful, such as those relating to FDR).

Explore how Descartes develops his ideas on the nature of the mind in the 2nd Meditation, OF THE NATURE OF THE HUMAN MIND
Option 2: Rene Descartes, Meditations on First Philosophy
Explore how Descartes develops his ideas on the nature of the mind in the 2nd Meditation, OF THE NATURE OF THE HUMAN MIND; AND THAT IT IS MORE EASILY KNOWN THAN THE BODY, sections 1-16

The text of Descartes 2nd meditation to read can be found here:
Descartes, 2nd Meditation, parts 1-16.
Answer the following questions on a separate document (Microsoft Word .docx), exploring how Descartes develops his ideas on the nature of the mind in the 2nd Meditation.
According to Descartes, what is necessarily true each time it is expressed by me?
What, according to Descartes, am I? What is the nature of the mind?
Exactly what does the argument concluding at the end of the third paragraph of Meditation II prove? Does it prove that Descartes exists? Does it prove that I (the reader) exist? Does it prove to me that I exist? (Are these last two questions different?)
How does Descartes go about imagining himself without a body? Can you really imagine yourself without a body? Can you conceive of having sensations — sights, sounds, smells, etc. — without a body? Could you be without being somewhere and some when?
What does Descartes say is the nature of material bodies? (Is he right?)
In the example of the wax, if the wax really changes all of its sensory qualities (i.e., the qualities that the senses can perceive), then what makes me think there is any one thing here at all? Does any collection of sensory qualities make up the sensations of an object?
What important conclusion about the nature or character of the mind does Descartes draw from the example of the piece of wax?
When a physicist investigates the nature of some element, does he or she concentrate on sensory qualities, or on the underlying atomic structures? Would Descartes call our knowledge of that underlying atomic structure sensory knowledge or rational knowledge?
If Descartes is correct that the essence of the mind is thinking, then how can I ever know whether there are other minds besides my own?
Why does Aristotle say that phantasia is distinct from perception?
Option 1: Aristotle’s De Anima (“On the Soul”)
Explore how Aristotle develops an understanding of phantasia (“imagination”) in De Anima, Book III, Part 3: 427b28 – 429a9 and noein (“thinking”) in De Anima, Book III, Part 4: 429a10 – 430a9.

Aristotle, De Anima, Book III, Part 3 – 4
Answer the following questions on a separate document (Microsoft Word .docx), exploring how Aristotle develops an understanding of phantasia (“imagination”) in part 3 and noein (“thinking”) in part 4 of De Anima.
- Why does Aristotle say that phantasia is distinct from perception? (428a6ff.)
- Aristotle claims that “sensations are always true, imaginations are for the most part false” (a11-12) What does he mean and why is it important to state?
- How does Aristotle argue that imagination is distinct from belief? (428a19-b5). Can you identify the premises and conclusion?
- What positive relation does imagination have to perception? How is imagination related to motion? (428b10-17)
5. How is “thinking” (noein) like perceiving? (429a13-17) - In what sense is intellect purely potential? (a20)
- How does intellect differ from perception in its being unaffected? (429a30-b5)
- Why does Aristotle say intellect is separable? (b5)
- What kind of knowledge is Aristotle talking about at 429b6-9?
10. How does the analogy of the writing tablet help explain the nature of intellect and its relation to its objects?
