You may make this as an essay answer or as a dialogue between Brown and Reiss. You do not need to illustrate it.

3a. Explain Winch's argument about the scientific status of Azande practices. How would Thagard respond to this? Would Thagard agree or disagree with Winch, and why? You may write this as an essay or as a dialogue between Winch and Thagard. Once again, you do not need to illustrate it

3b. Nagel claims that ID theory and naturalism are either scientific claims or they are both religious claims. Explain. Then, explain how Nagel's overarching argument is circular. (Hint: For the circular argument question, pay attention to how Nagel defines his terms.
