Written assignment on Hans Jonas reading
Select two short quotes from the article by Jonas (each quote a sentence, or possibly
two) that you found beautiful and insightful. For each quote:
write out the quote,
giving the exact location it is found
(bottom-center page number, paragraph, and line).
Then write for me a commentary of approximately 2-3 paragraphs,
the commentary clearly explaining the
meaning of the quote within the containing context.
Your choice of quotes and your commentary
should be careful, intelligent, and well written.
Please explain for me what Jonas aims to get across, rather than
your own, personal perspective.
Clearly explain the immediate context (eg, the containing paragraph or paragraphs).
Your analysis should show understanding of the reading and
some insight into what the author is saying.
