Name:
Philosophy Treasure Hunt
What’s the best resource for philosophy research? Together with your classmates, you will go on a hunt
to find and evaluate the myriad sources out there – and practise your summarizing and citation skills
while you’re at it!
Go through each of the following kinds of sources. For each, read an article on your topic. Write down
the main idea of the article and its citation. (Hint: the citation is usually available in the article for
database sources. You can also go to www.citefast.com to complete your citations).
