Description
In “Environmental Damage and the Puzzle of the Self-Torturer,” Chrisoula Andreou argues that there is no optimal level of pollution. Explain what this claim means. b. Explain the main argument that the claim’s author makes in support of it. The class handout will help you identify the argument, but your exposition shouldn’t quote the handout. Use your own words. c. Present one, and only one, objection to the argument. d. Assess the objection: i. If the author you are discussing considers and addresses this objection, discuss the author’s reply. Then critically assess that reply. Find one way that someone might find the reply inadequate, and either explain why this is a serious problem for the author’s argument, or say how the author could address the worry. ii. If the author you are discussing does not consider this objection, either explain why it is an effective objection or explain how the author could reply
