Essays

Philosophy, Politics, and the Public (honors program essay, after admission to Xavier) (750)

Identify an issue that you believe to be one of public concern. What makes it an issue of public concern? Given his account of the public in this passage, would Dewey agree that it is an issue of public concern? If so, why? If not, what is Dewey missing in his understanding of the public?

Editor's notes

  • Apply Early Action by Nov. 1 if you want Nursing, PPP or Data Science Honors. Xavier tells applicants to those programs to apply early.
  • Pick your recommender carefully. The CDS rates recommendations important, and Xavier requires one and suggests no more than two.
