Assignment:

Connect these works by a theme and write an essay that carries out that theme. Your essay should have a "thesis statement" that you maintain through your paper, using the articles to support your argument. You may include outside sources (and must cite every source that you use) but must include Introductioon to Africana Philosophy by LewisGordon (attached).

To make writing easier, explain any terms and definitions that you read from article or the other sources so that I am clear that you understand what you are arguing. Again cite your sources with page numbers every time you use ideas from someone else-not only when you are directly quoting.
