The political theory of love as it relates to “Political Emotions: Why Love Matters for Justice” by Martha Nussbaum, “Love, Power, and Justice: Ontological Analyses and Ethical Applications” by Paul Tillich, and “Bronze Age Mindset” by Bronze Age Pervert

UH 347 Midterm Paper Rubric

This paper will be 8-10 pages in length.   


The paper prompt is:

This paper will be based on your readings of Martha Nussbaum and Paul Tillich.  In addition to those readings, you will be required to utilize one additional source that you locate on your own.  This source can be a scholarly book/article, novel, movie, television series, album, poetry, artwork, graphic novel, etc.  In the paper, I want to see you triangulate the relationships between your three sources and show how they inform each other, problematize each other, explain each other, etc.  In short, how do all of your sources, together, help you think through the political theory of love?  Your model for this paper can be found in Nussbaum’s book that we will read together. 


Paper Requirements:

  • 8-10 pages

  • Double-Spaced

  • Times New Roman Font

  • 12 Point Font Size

  • You may use the citation method of your choice (MLA, APA, Chicago Style, etc.)

  • Each section will be graded on the quality and the richness with which you craft your argument.  You should make direct references to the texts you are using. 

  • Each section of your paper should have a bolded, underlined subheading title (eg, “Introduction”. You are free to make your subheadings different, but you MUST have subheadings.)

  • Each section of your paper should have a transition statement at the end that leads into the next section.


Rubric:

  • Introduction – Sets up the paper.  Tell me, generally, what your 3 primary arguments will be.  (20 points)

  • First Argument – Summarize your first argument. (20 points)

  • Second Argument – Summarize your second argument. (20 points)

  • Third Argument – Summarize your third argument. (20 points)

NOTE: I have included both of the sources (Tillich + Nussbaum) in the attached files, as well as the source I’d like to use as my third (from Bronze Age Pervert). I also included a potential outline of the essay.
