Political Components in Wallace’s and Orwell’s Works

Use either David Foster Wallace or George Orwell to analyze the political components of one of the analytic philosophy texts.

  1. First, explain the relevant features of Wallace/Orwell that matter for your analysis (for a general audience).
  2. Next, give a brief overview of the point and motivation of the analytic philosophy text before explaining which component Wallace/Orwell would target as representative of their account and why.
  3. Finally, what reason might an analytic philosopher have for agreeing with Wallace/Orwell on the political import of the target text (why should an analytic philosopher modify their behavior)?
