(no subject)

I generally tell my students not to write titles for their essays but just write the question instead. All too often they ignore this advice, so that a question like "Critically compare Plato's and Aristotle's views on education" will generate a title like "Plato vs. Aristotle" as though this were a boxing match (after Rumble in the Jungle and Thriller in Manila, I suppose this would be Horror in the Agora). On the other hand, this time round my title-loving students have come up with some that, even though they wouldn't get through peer review. at least make me curious about the essay. I mean who wouldn't want to read a philosophy essay entitled "Happiness is a Warm Gun" or "Dinner with Lucretius"?
