1.Set up the debate. Using textual evidence, describe the relevant claims made by the philosopher. Then explain the objection to those claims.
2.Provide the philosophers reply to the objection. This involves using textual evidence to infer how the philosopher would or should respond to the objection.
3.Evaluate the effectiveness of the philosophers reply. Give reasons for your own conclusion about whether the philosopher succeeds or fails in fending off the objectn.
