This is a Social Sciences paper about Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication on the Rights of MEN and her response to Edmond Burke’s Reflections on the Revolution in France 1790. The prompt to directly respond to is as follows: “In what ways does Wollstonecraft rebuke Burke’s arguments? What methods, evidence, or analogies does she use to prove his stance incorrect? If you choose this question you must frame your writing in a way that addresses these issues in argumentation, not just descriptive.” I have attached some notes from the class that should help frame some of the points. The paper should definitely include the modes of Wollstonecraft’s writing, highlighting her humor, as well as the points she makes in direct contrast to Burke’s philosophy. Please read through all of the notes. No sources should be used other than the two books. Please let me know if there are any questions.
