You’ll cite at least two sources, though you are welcome to include more. Include at least one source explaining the philosopher or theory you’ve chosen. This can be your textbook, or the entry from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (https://plato.stanford.edu/
A note about Wikipedia: you should never cite it as a source, because people can change and edit it at any time. However, it is very good for beginning to research a topic and finding other sources that deal with it, because it normally cites those sources at the bottom of each article.
In any event, I’ll be grading your proposals and the sources you plan on using, so I’ll let you know if your source(s) will be appropriate or not.
FOR EACH SOURCE YOU LIST, INCLUDE A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE SOURCE, WHAT IT SAYS, AND HOW YOU PLAN TO INCORPORATE IT INTO THE PAPER.
