Philosophy 102 Worst Paper Title ContestFor several years in my Philosophy 102 class, "Introduction to Metaphysics and Epistemology", I have given a prize for the WORST paper title. This is in the spirit of contests for the worst first line of novels, etc. The winners so far: Adam S. Cherensky '93, "Believe me Alone! James Willfully Cries: Hume or Me!" [for a paper on a comparison of William James' "The Will to Believe" and Hume] Holly Hodgson '96, "U Kant Touch This -M.C. Humer" [for a paper on Kant's response to Hume] Amy Cheng '95, "Noumena, Schmounena, I'll Take Phenomena" [for a paper on Kant] Abby Ramsden '98, "I Kant Smile Without Hume: Variations on a tune by Barry Prolegomanilow" [for a paper on Kant and Hume] Kim Zelnick '00, "Cogito Eggo Sum: I think I am a Waffle" [for a paper on Descartes] Back to Professor Gerrard's Page |
