- Demystifying Racial Monopoly Haller, Reese ( University of Oregon , 2022-10-04 ) Through analysis of private, public, and state reactions to the Great Depression and northward black migration, this thesis demystifies four key functions of race constitutive of capitalist racial monopoly: historical ...
- Pragmatism, Genealogy, and Moral Status Showler, Paul ( University of Oregon , 2022-10-04 ) This dissertation draws from recent work in pragmatism and philosophical genealogy to develop and defend a new approach for thinking about the concept of moral status.

- Ethics for the Depressed: A Value Ethics of Engagement Fitzpatrick, Devin ( University of Oregon , 2022-10-04 ) I argue that depressed persons suffer from “existential guilt,” which amounts to a two-part compulsion: 1) the compulsive assertion or sense of a vague and all-encompassing or absolute threat that disrupts action and ...
- Soul and Polis: On Arete in Plato's Meno Smith III, Ansel ( University of Oregon , 2022-10-04 ) In “Soul and Polis: On Arete in Plato’s Meno,” I interpret Meno as a dialogue in which the pursuit of individual arete appears intertwined with political arete. While the differentiation of these two arete is itself ...
- Place-in-Being: A Decolonial Phenomenology of Place in Conversation with Philosophies of the Americas Newton, Margaret ( University of Oregon , 2022-05-10 ) Our experiences of place and emplacement are so fundamental to our everyday existence that most of us rarely dedicate much time to thinking about how place and emplacement impact the various aspects of our daily lives. In ...

Anzaldúa and Maurice Merleau-Ponty Ferrari, Martina ( University of Oregon , 2021-11-23 ) Motivating this dissertation is a concern for how Western philosophical, cultural, and political practices tend to privilege speech and voice as emancipatory tools and reduce silence to silencing. To locate power in silence ...
- Mere Appearance: Redressing the History of Philosophy Zimmer, Amie ( University of Oregon , 2021-09-13 ) The principal aim of this dissertation is to seriously consider what accounts of fashion and dress can offer—have indeed already offered—to philosophy.

- Universal History as Global Critique: From German Critical Theory to the Anti-Colonial Tradition Portella , Elizabeth ( University of Oregon , 2021-09-13 ) This dissertation argues for a critical reconstruction of the concept of universal history.

I maintain that Sellars meta-linguistic ...
- Nietzsche, Heidegger, and the Questionability of Truth Emery, James ( University of Oregon , 2020-12-08 ) Does Nietzsche’s inquiry into the question of truth take him beyond the sense of truth as correctness found in Platonism toward a more Greek understanding of truth that brings concealment into an unsettling prominence ...

Developing Your Thesis
What is a Thesis?
The thesis is the most important part of your paper; it tells the reader what your stance is on a particular topic and offers reasons for that stance.
Since the rest of your paper will be spent defending your thesis--offering support for the thesis and reasons why criticism of the thesis may not be valid--it's crucial that you develop a strong thesis.
A strong thesis will:
- Answer a question;
- Be engaging; it can be challenged or opposed, thus also defended;
- Pass the "so what? why should I care?" test;
- Be supported by your paper;
- Not be too broad nor too vague.

Philosophy dissertations
undergraduate Y4
I supervise at least one undergraduate a year. Many of the same questions come up each year. I have prepared below a set of guidelines to help when starting out on a dissertation.
Please note that this is personal advice and not to be taken as a substitute for the undergraduate handbook and marking scheme.
Do’s and Don’t’s for a dissertation
- Have a claim. You should be able to state your claim clearly in 1–2 sentences.
- Have claim of the right size – viz. a size you can defend (be careful not to be too ambitious here)
- Have a rigorous argument for your claim. Your argument should be able to convince a rational person who does not already believe your claim
- Make your dissertation clearly understandable to a philosopher who is not an expert in this area
- Explain why your claim is important
- Be honest if you do not conclusively establish your claim – e.g. clarify that your claim follows conditional on certain stated assumptions, list unresolved objections
- Make clear your original contribution
- Make use of your supervisor for feedback on drafts
Don’t:
- Aim for this to be your magnum opus or last word on the topic
- Try to solve a major problem (e.g. the mind-body problem, external world scepticism)
- Cover every possible view in the field
- Include extra material unless it advances your argument
- Have one massive 6,000 word chapter
- Leave it until Semester 2 to start work
How to write a dissertation
The points above give you an idea of what to aim for but they don’t provide a method for how to get there. There are many ways to write a dissertation. It may be reassuring to know that there are simple methods that can reliably produce an excellent dissertation. The algorithm below is one method:
- Find the general area you like (e.g. phenomenal consciousness)
- Select one article/book chapter in that area that you find fascinating (e.g. Smith (2009))
- Summarise Smith (2009) carefully in your own words, paying attention to whether each step in the argument follows from the previous
- Look for weaknesses in Smith (2009)’s argument
- Which new resources do you need to draw on?
- Which alternative conclusions follow?
- Which objections can be raised to your proposal?
- Draw on relevant bits of surrounding literature to support (5)
You have a first class dissertation!
Filling the dissertation with enough words
A common worry among students is whether they are able to write enough words. The longest piece of philosophical writing they may have done so far is 3,000 words. How can you write a sustained argument that lasts for 8,000 words? This turns out to be easier than you might think. Indeed, the difficulty often turns out to be not going over the word limit.
For the sake of argument, let us see how following the algorithm above might work out in terms of word count.
- Introduction (500 words): What is your claim, the outline of your argument?
- Chapter 1 (1,000 words): Why is your claim important? What are the pay-offs?
- Chapter 2 (2,000 words): Careful and charitable summary of X in your own words
- Chapter 3 (2,000 words): Your rigorous criticism of X
- Chapter 4 (2,000 words): How X should be corrected, associated costs, consequences for views that use X, possible objections
- Conclusion (500 words): Summary and next steps for future work
And we are done!
Milestones to aim for
Milestones depend on the specific project and you should talk to your supervisor about your workload and what would be a reasonable plan for finishing the dissertation in the year. Below is a rough plan that one might aim for.
- End Y3: meet supervisor & agree on general topic
- Summer vacation: background reading on topic
- Start Y4: find 1 article/chapter to focus
Year 4, Semester 1:
- Start: meet with supervisor & agree plan for year
- Middle: first draft of 2 chapters
- End: polished draft of 2 chapters
Year 4, Semester 2:
- Start: first draft of entire dissertation
- Middle: polished draft of entire dissertation
- End: revisit, revise, and submit dissertation
Background reading
A dissertation in philosophy is a story … like all good stories, it only includes what is essential to the story — Robert Paul Wolff’s astute advice that applies just as well to UG dissertations as well as PhD theses
Be concise, but explain yourself fully — Jim Pryor with an excellent 3-stage plan for writing philosophy
Style is the feather in the arrow, not the feather in the cap — Peter Lipton has some wonderful and concise writing advice
Read your work aloud. … Be firm: take your prose to the gym, and keep working at it until the bones and sinews show through! — Peter Smith, previously editor of Analysis , with some fantastic advice
What is an argument? — Jim Pryor’s guide is essential reading for anyone writing philosophy; it contains a lexicon of philosophical terms and a taxonomy of good and bad arguments, which is useful for classifying the arguments you consider
PH399 Dissertation in Philosophy
This information is for the 2020/21 session.
Teacher responsible
Dr Marie Milofsky
Availability
This course is available on the BSc in Philosophy and Economics, BSc in Philosophy, Logic and Scientific Method, BSc in Philosophy, Politics and Economics and BSc in Politics and Philosophy. This course is not available as an outside option nor to General Course students.
Course content
The dissertation may be on any topic for which a suitable supervisor in the Philosophy department can be found.
Selection of topic
Candidates should have the subject of their dissertation approved by their supervising member of department.
Arrangements for supervision
The dissertation is an opportunity to do extended independent research and writing and to present this work to one's peers. It should reflect the candidate's own views but must develop out of some established part of the philosophical literature. Students should carefully discuss their topic and approach with their supervisor who will also advise on reading and give feedback on written work. Students must have regular meetings with their supervisor, submit written work regularly, and keep a formal record of their work and progress. Students must also present an early version of their argument to fellow students and will be given feedback on the quality of their presentation as well as on the content of their arguments.
2 hours of seminars in the MT. 20 hours of seminars in the LT.
This year, some or all of this teaching will take place online.
Formative coursework
Students will be expected to produce 1 piece of coursework in the MT and 2 essays, 1 presentation and 1 other piece of coursework in the LT.
The formative coursework sets out several steps towards the dissertation: a literature review (due in MT); a first 2,000 words (due in week 1 of LT), a subsequent 3,000 words (which may be in part a revision of the first 2,000 words), due in week 5 of LT; a presentation of the student's arguments in LT; and a full draft of the dissertation, due in week 11 of LT. All written coursework must be submitted by email to both the student's supervisor and the teacher responsible. Students who fail to submit this coursework on time may be barred from submitting the dissertation. Participation in the weekly seminar and the quality of the presentation will determine 10% of the final mark for the course.
Dissertation (90%, 7000 words) in the ST. Class participation (10%).
Dissertations must be submitted in May 2021, exact date to be confirmed. They should be 5,000-7,000 words, and should be typewritten.

Important information in response to COVID-19
Please note that during 2020/21 academic year some variation to teaching and learning activities may be required to respond to changes in public health advice and/or to account for the situation of students in attendance on campus and those studying online during the early part of the academic year. For assessment, this may involve changes to mode of delivery and/or the format or weighting of assessments. Changes will only be made if required and students will be notified about any changes to teaching or assessment plans at the earliest opportunity.

La méthode de la dissertation de philosophie !
Publié le 27 novembre 2018 par Justine Debret . Mis à jour le 7 décembre 2020.
Quelle méthode suivre pour une dissertation de philosophie ? C’est une question que l’on se pose depuis le lycée et qui nous préoccupe encore à l’université.
Table des matières
Étape 1 de la méthode d’une dissertation – analyser le sujet en profondeur, étape 2 de la méthode d’une dissertation – problématiser, étape 3 de la méthode d’une dissertation – faire un plan, étape 4 de la méthode d’une dissertation – argumenter, étape 5 de la méthode d’une dissertation – l’introduction, le développement, les transitions et la conclusion, étape 6 de la méthode d’une dissertation – la relecture et correction de votre dissertation, présentation gratuite, 1. lire le sujet attentivement.
Cela parait évident, mais la première étape est de lire le sujet en entier . Si plusieurs sujets de dissertation sont proposés, il vous faut les lire tous avant de choisir le sujet qui vous semble le plus approprié (celui que vous avez le plus préparé).
Exemple de sujets
2. définir les termes du sujet.
Il est primordial de définir les termes du sujet, afin de le comprendre et de choisir un angle d’attaque.
Conseil Utilisez l’étymologie des mots.
Les mots ont des définitions diverses et vous devrez choisir une définition spécifique pour les termes centraux du sujet en introduction.
Exemple de définition des termes
Sujet : Le travail n’est-il qu’une contrainte ?
Il faut définir les termes “travail”, “contrainte” et “qu’une”. Si des idées, des concepts, des théories ou des auteurs vous viennent à l’esprit, notez les sur votre brouillon !
Travail : au sens économique, le travail est une activité rémunérée ou non qui permet la production de biens et services. Avec le capital, c’est un facteur de production de l’économie. L’étymologie du terme travail est tripalium (instrument de torture), un instrument formé de trois pieux, deux verticaux et un placé en transversale, auquel on attachait les animaux pour les ferrer ou les soigner, ou les esclaves pour les punir.
Contrainte : une chose imposée par l’extérieur contre la volonté d’un individu (différent d’une obligation).
Qu’une : seulement, uniquement.
3. Faire un brainstorming sur le sujet
Soulignez les mots du sujet qui vous semblent essentiels et essayez de les définir ou de trouver des synonymes.
Étalez plusieurs feuilles de brouillon et écrivez toutes les idées qui vous viennent à l’esprit concernant votre sujet.
Relisez souvent le sujet pour éviter le hors-sujet.
L’analyse du sujet constitue une étape majeure de la réponse : elle cerne à viser précisément les exigences du libellé.
- Elle porte sur les termes essentiels figurant dans le libellé.
- Elle doit permettre de dégager le ou les problèmes posés par le sujet et de délimiter le domaine concerné par le sujet.
Exemple de brainstorming
- Le travail peut être un plaisir.
- Est-ce une contrainte ou une obligation que l’homme s’inflige ? Que serions-nous sans le travail ?
- C’est une activité imposée de l’extérieur, donc une contrainte.
- Le travail permet de nous libérer ?
- Le travail est une fin en soi ?
- Est-ce imposé par la société ?

Grâce aux définitions et au brainstorming , faites un travail de reformulation avec vos propres mots de la question qui vous est posée.
Astuce Commencez la question par “en quoi” (pour une réponse avec différents arguments) ou “est-ce que” (pour une réponse en thèse/antithèse).
Lors de la problématisation du sujet, demandez-vous si vous pouvez y répondre avec vos connaissances et si vos propos sont en relation directe avec le sujet de la dissertation de philosophie.
Exemple de problématique
Problématique : Est-ce que l’Homme est contraint ou obligé de travailler ?
Maintenant que vous avez une problématique, il faut faire un plan qui y répond. Recherchez des idées et notez-les de manière ordonnée.
En fonction du sujet de dissertation de philosophie proposé, un type de plan va s’imposer : dialectique, analytique ou thématique.
Nous conseillons de faire un plan en trois parties (et deux sous-parties). Toutefois, ce n’est pas obligatoire et vous pouvez faire deux parties (et trois sous-parties).
Il existe plusieurs types de plan :
- Le plan dialectique (ou critique).
- Le plan analytique.
- Le plan thématique
Exemple de plan
Plan :
I) Le travail n’est qu’une activité imposée par l’extérieur contre la volonté de l’Homme
A) L’origine du travail B) Il est imposé à l’humanité par d’autres Hommes C) Le travail et la société
II) Le travail est une activité que l’être humain s’impose librement à lui-même
A) Travailler est naturel pour l’Homme ? B) Le travail comme une libération C) Le travail est une fin en soi
L’analyse du sujet de la dissertation de philosophie permet de dégager deux ou trois idées qui sont les parties de votre développement.
Chaque argument est l’objet d’un paragraphe qui doit présenter une explication de l’argument, des exemples précis et une phrase conclusive.
Exemple d’argumentation
B) Le travail comme libération
Argument 1 : D’après Kant, l’Homme se dicterait librement le travail car il en aurait besoin pour se libérer de la nature qui est en lui. En effet, le travail est une activité qui induit de suivre des règles, et ces règles permettent à l’être humain de se libérer de la nature qui réside en lui, c’est-à-dire de se civiliser. Cette nature qui habite l’être humain s’exprime par le désir, l’instinct et les sentiments d’après Kant. Le travail est donc l’activité qui permet à l’Homme de ne plus être esclave de sa nature et d’accéder à l’estime de soi.
Exemple : C’est-à-dire que lorsque l’Homme travail, tout ce qu’il construit « il doit en avoir tout seul le mérite et n’en être redevable qu’à lui-même ». D’après Kant, le travail permet aussi d’évoluer et d’accéder à la culture, car si l’Homme ne travaillait pas, il serait resté au stade primitif. Par exemple, un consultant qui travaille pour Deloitte sur différentes missions continuera de se perfectionner et d’accumuler des connaissances au fil de sa carrière.
Conclusion : Par conséquent, l’Homme s’oblige à travailler pour se libérer de la nature qui est en lui et pour accéder à l’estime de soi, ainsi qu’à la culture.

1. L’introduction d’une dissertation
L’introduction d’une dissertation de philosophie permet de poser le sujet et d’exposer clairement le problème.
Elle ne doit pas être trop longue (10 à 15 lignes) et s’adresse à un lecteur profane.
L’introduction d’une dissertation de philosophie doit comporter :
- une amorce ;
- l’énoncé du sujet (si c’est une citation, elle doit figurer dans l’introduction avec le nom de l’auteur) ;
- la définition des termes et reformulation du sujet ;
- la problématique ;
- l’annonce du plan de la dissertation.
Exemple d’introduction
Sujet : Le travail n’est-il qu’une contrainte?
Introduction :
« Le travail a quelque chose de semblable à la mort. C’est une soumission à la matière. » a dit Guillaume Apollinaire. Il pose ainsi la question du travail, comme une unique contrainte. L’étymologie latine du mot travail, « tripalium », signifie « instrument de torture ». En outre, c’est une action liée à la souffrance et qui possède une dimension fortement négative. Par définition, le travail est une activité de transformation de la nature qui a pour effet de transformer l’Homme lui-même. Pour Blaise Pascal, c’est un divertissement qui occupe une grande partie de la vie des Hommes et qui permet de masquer les problèmes essentiels de l’existence humaine. On définit une contrainte comme étant est une chose imposée par l’extérieur contre la volonté d’un individu. Or, il faut bien différencier une contrainte d’une obligation, qui elle est une activité que l’individu s’impose lui-même librement. On peut donc se demander est-ce que l’Homme est contraint ou obligé de travailler ? Dans un premier temps, nous nous demanderons si le travail n’est qu’une activité imposée par l’extérieur contre la volonté de l’Homme, puis dans un deuxième temps nous nous interrogerons sur le fait que le travail est une activité que l’être humain s’impose librement à lui-même.
2. Le développement
Le développement comporte deux ou trois parties, nettement séparées. Il faut sauter une ligne après l’introduction, entre chaque partie, et avant la conclusion.
Chaque partie est divisée en trois ou quatre paragraphes qui s’articulent autour d’un argument ou d’une idée directrice.
Tout argument doit être illustré par un exemple littéraire qui donne lieu à une analyse permettant au lecteur d’apprécier leur pertinence. Chaque partie s’achève sur une phrase de conclusion.
Exemple de développement
Effectivement, l’Homme s’imposerait librement le travail, car il en aurait besoin pour se libérer.
Exemple : C’est-à-dire que lorsque l’Homme travail, tout ce qu’il construit « il doit en avoir tout seul le mérite et n’en être redevable qu’à lui-même ». D’après Kant, le travail permet aussi d’évoluer et d’accéder à la culture, car si l’Homme ne travaillait pas, il serait resté au stade primitif.
Conclusion : Par conséquent, l’Homme s’oblige à travailler pour se libérer de la nature qui est en lui et pour accéder à l’estime de soi ainsi qu’à la culture.
Argument 2 : Par ailleurs, d’autres philosophes voient dans le travail un autre facteur de libération. En effet, pour Pascal, le travail permet à l’Homme de se libérer de la misère existentielle, qui est le maux le plus douloureux de l’espèce humaine et qui est en fait la définition de la condition humaine. La misère existentielle est en fait une angoisse, un ennui qui est commun à tous les Hommes et qui résulte d’une interrogation sur l’existence humaine.
Exemple : Ces questions existentielles, qui sont universelles, plongeraient l’Homme dans une angoisse et un ennui profond. Il existe de nombreuses questions de ce genre comme « que faire de sa vie ? » ou bien « que faire face à l’angoisse de la mort ? ». Pascal considère que pour se libérer face à ce maux l’Homme s’impose librement le travail, qui est un divertissement qui l’occupe et l’empêche de se poser ces questions existentielles. C’est-à-dire que le travail est la seule solution pour l’Homme face au sentiment insupportable que l’existence humaine est absurde.
Conclusion : Par conséquent, l’Homme se dicte librement le travail car c’est l’unique solution face à l’angoisse et l’ennui causés par la condition humaine. Le travail, d’après ces deux exemples constitue une obligation pour l’Homme dans le sens où il se l’impose librement afin de se libérer de la nature qui est en lui, ainsi que de la misère existentielle qui l’habite. Toutefois, le travail pourrait n’être considéré que comme une contrainte s’il constituait une activité réalisé pour une fin extérieure.
3. Les transitions
Dans une dissertation de philosophie, les transitions sont primordiales. Elles permettent de lier les parties entre elles.
Deux types de transitions sont utilisés :
- Les transitions entre grandes parties (I et II par exemple).
- Les transitions entre chaque sous-partie (entre A et B par exemple).
Une transition est faite de plusieurs parties :
- une mini-conclusion de la partie ou sous-partie précédente ;
- une critique d’un point faible de la partie précédente ;
- l’annonce de la partie qui suit.
Exemple de transition
Transition (de B vers C) :
Nous avons mis en exergue que le travail permet à l’Homme de se libérer de la nature qui est en lui et de sa misère existentielle (B). Toutefois, notre étude ne s’est pas encore intéressée aux autres apports du travail. Nous allons désormais nous intéresser au travail comme une fin en soi (C).
4. La conclusion d’une dissertation
La conclusion d’une dissertation de philosophie est une synthèse du développement. Il faudra clairement indiquer la réponse à la problématique de l’introduction. Il est possible d’ajouter ensuite une ouverture qui propose une extension de la réflexion sur un autre angle du thème.
Exemple de conclusion
Conclusion :
Le travail ne peut guère être uniquement considéré comme une simple contrainte même si il est imposé à l’Homme par d’autres individus. En effet, il s’agit aussi d’une obligation, une fin en soi, qui lui permet en quelque sorte de s’émanciper la nature qui est en lui ainsi que de sa condition humaine. Le travail permet en effet à l’Homme de se libérer d’aspects contraignant liés à l’existence humaine.
