參考書目
HOW TO WRITE A SCHOLARLY PAPER

1. State an explicit thesis. A good paper should state a distinctive thesis at the very beginning and indicate why it is important. In this fashion you grab the reader's attention before it has a chance to wonder and make the paper effective. If you do not know your point at the beginning of your paper, you will not fortuitously discover it as you wander aimless along.
2. What is meant by a "thesis." A thesis is your opinion on certain issue(s) that can be related to the ongoing debates or concerns, or new interpretation of the text that can enhance of our understanding. A thesis must be situated in the current state of second-hand literature of the relevant philosophers. Stating that you intend to "compare and contrast" several authors on a broad range of issues is not a thesis, nor a simple stream of data, nor a mere stream of consciousness.
3. Argument: your thesis must be substantiated by relevant textual evidence. Through the middle of your paper you must convince your reader that your thesis is plausible. To do so you have to prove your command of the texts.
4. Economy: marshall only relevant material. The person with the greatest command of the material will know what is obvious and can merely be stated, and what needs to be argued. Avoid stating the obvious as well as merely stringing together summaries of text arbitrarily. Everything should follow in a logical order to support your thesis.
5. Analyze the implications or relevance of your thesis. In conclusion you should answer such questions as "so what?" "why is this interesting?" A mere recapitulation or summary at the end of a short essay insults the reader's power of memory. Your conclusion should provide something fresh and new.
6. Clarity is the highest virtue. It is not your reader's responsibility to try to reconstruct what you mean, or to ferret out the subterranean logic that binds together the parts of your essay. Write in such a way that no one could possibly doubt what your are trying to say or why you are saying it.
7. Addressee. Write as if your audience were the world at large. Never write as if your paper were a privileged communication between you and the professor. Avoid casual speech and chattiness on the one hand and stilted formality on the other. Write as you would speak.
8. Revise and revise again. There is no other way for your essay to show that it is the product of care than by doing more than one draft. You expect your reader to take your work seriously and give it care and attention. It is an insult to the reader not to do the same.
9. Learning by doing. Copy several papers from scholarly journals on a subject that interests you and examine how the authors execute the above principles.
