Which primary source text did you read? Choose from links for the week after the worksheet is due. Author: Title: Translator: Collection: Publisher (web publisher or domain): Date accessed: Date of original publishing year (if available): 2. What is one notable ethical teaching you found there? 3. What quote supports your claim that the answer to question two is an ethical teaching stated in the text? 4. Is location information available for the quote (for example book, chapter, page, or paragraph number). If yes, please provide the location.   5. Write three questions about the text or teaching Internal question (clarifying terms and relations within the text.) For example, if you take the point of view presented by the text or teaching, what terms need further clarification within that point of view? Are there apparent contradictions between terms or claims? External question (posing a problem that might be seen from outside the perspective of the text.) For example, if you take a perspective that is different from the text or teaching how do you challenge the text or teaching to satisfy something that you have come to expect from a different point of view? Comparative question (posing a question about the relationship of this text to others you have read.) For example, if you study this text or teaching in comparison to another text or teaching what comparative questions could you ask? What terms would be interesting to compare or contrast between two texts or teachings? For formal clarity, the question should include clear reference to two texts along with clear reference to claims or terms in each text. (i.e. “I wonder how Buddhism would compare to The Bible?” is not a question of sufficient formal clarity. It does not specify the texts to be compared. It does not specify a claim or term of interest.)
