Write a clear, concise, and carefully-worded summary that sufficiently explains the main premises and conclusion of the reading.

Lee & George,(. 421-431); Hursthouse, (p. 433-441).
One-Pagers (OPs) are prcis that will analyze one reading from the section or topic, and must be only one page long. Note that the reading you write on must be a primary source reading (such as the respective readings by Mary Anne Warren, Patrick Lee & Robert George, and Rosalind Hursthouse), and may not be one of the brief reading selections found in the Moral Theory Primer (anything between pages 1-37 of your text).
The challenge here is to write a clear, concise, and carefully-worded summary that sufficiently explains the main premises and conclusion of the reading. In order to do this, you may want to focus less on the examples and minor details covered in the reading; but focus more on important terms and concepts, and on major argument points. All-in-all, each word and sentence in your writeup should be carefully framed in a way that sufficiently captures the authors’ whole argument, and sufficiently demonstrates that you have understood the whole reading (rather than merely parts or bits and pieces of the reading).

There is no need to write your own commentary, evaluation, or reflections of this reading in the OP. The primary focus of the assignment is to see how well you can understand and inhabit the philosophers’ positions in the reading. Our class discussion and Major Paper assignments will integrate the evaluative aspects
