mind-literature-positioning

separate

Use when positioning a Mind article against the existing philosophical literature so the thesis reads as a genuine move in a live debate. Mind readers are expert across analytic philosophy, so the paper must engage the canonical and current statements of the view it targets, not a strawman. Stakes the contribution; it does not write the literature section for you.

When to use

• Drafting or revising the introduction
• Revising the 'what I add' paragraph
• Distinguishing thesis from closest existing positions
• Choosing figures and papers that define the debate
• Addressing feedback about attacking a strawman
• Addressing feedback about ignoring obvious replies
• Positioning a Mind article against philosophical literature

When not to use

• Writing the literature section for you
