Select one of these passages:1. The paragraph on p. 20 of Chalmers’ ‘The Representational Character of Expe-rience’ that begins with ‘There is a certain phenomenological plausibility…’, and ends with ‘…it seems a high price to pay.’2. The passsage from Section IV of Moore’s ‘A Defence of Common Sense’ that begins with ‘Of the first type, there is but one answer’, and ends with ‘…or has not got those which it sensibly appears to him to have’.Your task is to explicate and evaluate the argument(s) in your chosen passage. An explication renders its target intelligible even to those unfamiliar with the text. Define any technical terms. Clearly identify premisses and conclusions, and make explicit any relations between the different premisses (e.g. does any premiss follow from an earlier one?). Lastly, if an argument plays a relevant role in a larger argument, this role should be acknowledged and its relevance explained.To evaluate an argument you must assess its validity and soundness. If the argument is invalid as it stands, consider whether there are any plausible premisses which (if added) would make the argument valid. If you wish to show that the argument is unsound, you must argue against one (or more) of its premisses. If you wish to defend an argument’s soundness, you must consider an objection to the argument and respondto it.
