What is the best structure to use in essays?

In your introduction, highlight the importance of the question in relation to the discipline of philosophy and outline a comparison of the points and scholars you will use to address the question. In the body of the essay select two primary scholars with opposing views of the question or claim stated. Explain the agreeing scholars answer to the question using your own examples. Then evaluate it using a secondary scholar and your own opinion and response to the scholars concepts. Then do the same with the disagreeing scholar. Conclude by summarising your points and linking back to the question, claim or stimulus.
