Just as Plato did through his characters in The Republic, please imagine the viewpoints defined as real human beings engaged in the project of devising the most just society that would be consistent with their beliefs. You need to think about what understanding of “human nature” must be involved in the viewpoint each of these people have. In some cases, by virtue of the view itself, the society they imagine might need to encourage and enhance human nature or it might need to discourage and diminish human nature. Note this and explain why you think so as you move along in the paper. In the end, you may find yourself leaning towards acceptance of one view over the others or you may not, instead seeing some relative advantages to each view. The essay should be of sufficient length to demonstrate your understanding of the viewpoints. Note: this is not about your opinion. It is about what the definition guides you to see must be the viewpoint relative to creating a just society.
