A comparative analysis paper examining and comparing Socrates and Descartes on the immortality of the soul.

A comparative analysis paper in which you examine and compare Socrates’ and Descartes’ views on immortality of the soul. You should both examine and articulate each philosopher’s argument regarding immortality of the soul, and you should provide an argument of your own for a way in which to understand both philosophers together. Your argument can either identify a way in which the philosophers are similar, or a way in which they differ. In either case, you must defend your argument with textual evidence and reasons. You cannot merely cite historical differences. You are expected to really engage with Socrates and Descartes and spend time developing a nuanced argument regarding how to understand their positions together.
