Philosophy is such a discomforting discipline. It’s a little bit frightening to find one’s settled convictions being challenged all the time. I’ve spent 15 years being confident social contract theory can accommodate nonhuman animals. But, writing a paper on justice & motivations, I’ve had to change my mind. I don’t like it. This is one reason the essay remains an important part of a university education in the arts, humanities, & social sciences. When you do the hard work of trying to craft an argument into an essay, you're forced to question & think at a deeper level.
