Philosophy topic. Which one to write about!?

[whaisi]

1. Explain Descartes' notion of ‘ideas' in his Meditations, and the role they play in different arguments he makes.

2. Hobbes and Rousseau give two very different accounts of the ‘state of nature’. Explain in what way these differences affect their corresponding theories of man in civil society. You may choose another topic comparing Hobbes’ and Rousseau’s notions, e.g., of liberty, social contract, etc. If you should decide on any of these or alternative topics regarding Hobbes and Rousseau, you will have to talk to me first.

3. Delineate the meaning of Kant’s categorical imperative.


Well.. this is not a hard question.. Just asking opinions. But considering I have to research on those.. Which one you guys think would be the easiest to write about?? I'm considering
number 1 or 3.. The paper's 3 pages minimum.

I would suggest #3 because there is a lot of information on Immanuel Kant. The "categorical imperative" is his central philosophical concept of the moral philosophy.
