Writing a Focused Essay for Your Humanities Courses
Ever wondered: How do you write an essay that stays on topic? How do you develop an idea without repeating the same few points? How do you avoid excessive plot summary? In this workshop, you'll learn strategies for finding the right focus and maintaining it throughout the essay - from your thesis statement to your topic sentences to your conclusion. You'll also learn how to select and integrate the right quotes for your topic, and what teachers really mean when they ask for "critical analysis" and a strong argument.

Karl Jaspers and Psychoanalysis
Karl Jaspers (1883-1969) was famous as a psychiatrist before he became philosopher inventing with his friend Martin Heidegger the Germany version of existentialism. His criticism of Psychoanalysis lasted over five decades turning more and more out to be driven by philosophical and cultural value-judgements. Its reconstruction follows the methodological insights which Max Weber has brought up connecting the two cultures of natural sciences and humanities. | | |
